Whenever an attempt is made to save a DNP3 SCADAPack Profile’s configuration, Geo SCADA Expert automatically checks:
- Whether all Time values are sequential
- If the Profile item is a DNP3 SCADAPack Analog Profile, whether any limit values cross over any other limit values.
(The contents of individual cells are validated when they are modified. Any invalid times or values are highlighted in red (see Manually Edit the Vectors on a DNP3 SCADAPack Profile).)
Only valid configuration can be saved to the database. Diagnostic message(s) are displayed at the bottom of the DNP3 SCADAPack Profile Editor should a Profile have invalid configuration.
