Create the example format specification file

From DeltaV Explorer:

1. Select File → Format Specification → New.

2. Enter TEMPS.FMT in the Filename field.

3. Select Include Column Headers.

4. Specify the Object type as Module.

5. In the SubType field, browse to the module template TEMPS_F_C.

6. In the Select fields dialog, select module parameters you want to bulk edit. You must at least include area, module_name, and module_subtype.

7. Also include any parameter shortcuts you want to bulk edit. Parameter shortcuts consist of the contained block name and block parameter name separated by a dollar sign ($). You must at least include AI1$IO_IN.REF so you can specify the input to the AI block when creating modules during bulk edit. You can use parameter option shortcuts when bulk editing parameters with multiple options.

8. Select items in the Which fields must already exist in the database dialog, if desired.

9. Click Finish to save the format specification file and close the dialog.
