Scada
typical
With the scada add-on you can generate Scada code, which automatically is filled with project specific information. This window is used to import scada typicals. Scada typicals are small pieces of Scada code (*.txt or *.awl files for an example) which can contain variables. Variables are placed between a begin- and end tag. You can set the begin- and end tag in System -> Options -> System -> Plug-in SCADA to your needs. This is important before importing your typicals. A file viewer is available which will show you the selected typical.
