The following tasks are used when you import data from a non-Smart Instrumentation database that uses system or unit of measure codes different from the ones used in your target Smart Instrumentation.

Define Source Systems

Before you can adapt the source codes to comply with the target codes, you need to specify the source systems whose codes you want to adapt. At this stage, you also select the current source system whose codes you want to use during the current import session.

Adapt System Codes

Use this procedure to adapt the codes that are not associated with units of measure to the codes that are used in the target Smart Instrumentation database. Several source code values can be represented by a single target code value. For example, the source code values AA, BB, CC, DD can be represented by (adapted to) a single target code: XX.

Adapt Unit of Measure Codes

This procedure shows you how to adapt unit of measure codes for Smart Instrumentation.

Import Codes

This feature allows you to import from the same code file (with a .cds extension) both the system codes and the unit of measure codes or just one of them, depending on whether these codes exist in the ASCII file you are going to use. This way you can use code adaptation settings that were previously saved in files without having to redefine the code adaptation for every case.

Export Codes

This feature allows you to export the current code settings of any selected source system to a code file (with a .cds extension). You can export both the system codes and the unit of measure codes or just one of them. This way you can keep code adaptation settings in a file and use them in future import sessions without having to redefine the code adaptation for every case.

View the Currently Selected Source System Name

This option enables you to view the currently selected source system name.

Use Source Codes in an Import Link

After you have adapted unit of measure codes and system codes, this procedure describes how to use them in your import links.
