The Internal Data menu allows access to the information on variables stored in SpecView.
Open the Variables List by clicking 
on the toolbar
List GDW Dynamics to CSV
Used for SpecView diagnostics only
Save Logging + Alarm Details
Used for SpecView diagnostics only
Load Logging + Alarm Details
Used for SpecView diagnostics only
Set All items on this GDW as Logged
Adds ALL the variables on this GDW into logging.
NOTE: Use this feature if you want to Historically Replay ALL the variables on this GDW
To remove any unwanted variables from logging uncheck the logging flag in the Variables List.
See Disk Space for Logging for file size details, as logging more variables will increase disk space requirements.
Export Variables List
Exports a list of all the currently defined variables and their properties to a .CSV (Comma Separated Variable format) file which can then be edited using Excel and saved again as a .CSV file, then subsequently imported using the Import Variables List menu command from this menu.
This is useful if a large number of changes need to be made to the Variables List. For example, some instruments have numerous data registers, which must be accessed indirectly using an address offset. These variables will then need to be renamed accordingly, for example, registers named with numbers D000 to D255 with an offset of 2560 will need to be renamed to D2560 to D2815 which can be done quickly using the features in Excel.
Do not attempt to use this function to change the type of a variable, for example, from an Integer to a Number (with decimals).
Import Variables List
Imports a list of all currently defined variables and their properties from a .CSV file which has been edited using Excel and saved again as a .CSV file.
Note: There is very limited error checking on the import, so make a good backup of this project first before importing.
