Before you can export data to bulk edit, you must have a format specification file to define the data for the object to export or import. The format specification file defines the format for data exported from and imported to the DeltaV database. Sample format specification files and some corresponding export files are included in the DeltaV installation. They are in the DeltaV\DVData\BulkEdit directory. You can use these as is or use the Format Specification wizard to create new .fmt files and then export data to create your own .txt files.
