Bulk edit parameters

Change sampling, scaling, precision or Modbus and SDI-12 settings on many parameters in one go.

Goal: the same change is applied to several parameters at once, leaving everything else about them as it was.

Before you start

  • You need the Admin role.
  • Know which field you want to change. Only fields you change are applied; the rest stay as they are on each parameter.

Steps

  1. 1

    Select the parameters. On Parameters, tick the rows you want. Use Type to show one kind only, and Select All to tick everything shown.

  2. 2

    Open bulk edit. With two or more rows ticked, click Bulk Edit. Every field starts at "leave unchanged".

  3. 3

    Change what you need.

    • Any selection: Sampling, Scaling, Offset, Precision (0 to 6).
    • All Modbus: also Function Code, Data Type and Byte Order, and Slave ID when they all share one Slave ID.
    • All SDI-12: also SDI-12 Sensor ID, Request Type, Request Num (0 to 9).
  4. 4

    Apply. Click Apply. It stays greyed until you change a field.

Check it worked

The changed columns (Sampling, Format, Scale, Offset, Prec) show the new values on every ticked row.

If something goes wrong

  • Byte Order alone is ambiguous: pick a Data Type too. Choose a Data Type with the Byte Order.
  • Slave ID can only be changed when all selected parameters share one Slave ID. Select parameters from one device only.
  • To delete many at once, tick them and click Delete Selected, then confirm.
