To add a profile to a module, click the blue Configure profiles link at the bottom in the General tab.

Alternatively, you can open the drop down list under Profile in the General tab and click on <New profile> or <Edit profile>.

In both cases, the Configure profiles dialog opens.

Below the left window of the dialog you will find a set of buttons with the following functions:

Add a profile and rename it in a way that all relevant information for choosing a profile later is noticeable, e.g. intended application or visualization element.

Make your settings in the three tabs.

General tab

Selection of metadata sources of the signals

Here, you can determine if and which metadata should be adopted from the source signal. Moreover, you can allow (default) or prohibit further editing of the data in the signal mapper module.

The metadata of a signal are name, comment 1 and comment 2, complemented by unit and datatype for analog values.

In the Analog and Digital tabs you define the signals which will be provided by the signal mapper module. There you can enter the metadata.

The source signals which will be assigned to the signal mapper module have their own metadata, at least a signal name.

Analog and Digital tab

Here, define the analog and digital signals which any signal mapper module will provide after having assigned this profile. If you have filled one row (at least the signal name) and click in the empty space below, a new row will be added.

The datatype of analog values only distinguishes between Text and Numeric. Neither the length of text nor the datatype have to be specified in detail because they will be adopted from the source signal later.

If you create multiple rows you can organize the rows by using the buttons on the right side.

	Move selected rows up
	Move selected rows down
	Delete selected rows
	Copy all rows
	Paste from clipboard, starting from the selected row

You will find the same functions in the context menu after a right mouse click on the table.
