Import option for ETS group addresses in XML format. Only the ETS XML format is supported. The XML file does not contain any object-orientated assignments. Status feedback must therefore be used. The "Read flag" must be set manually.

 

In the ETS, the XML file is exported with a right mouse click in the group address view.

 

1.Start the editor.

2.Open your project and select the KNX connection.

3.Select the KNX component and click on the right-hand button in the properties window under "Data point list". The data point window opens. Or double-click on the component.

4.Open "GA Xml Import" in the file menu at the top left.

5.The import takes place in 2 steps.
 

Step 1
Select the ETS5/6 XML file. You must first export this from the ETS.

 

Step 2

Here you can see which group address notation is used: 2- or 3-level representation or free group address structure.
 
By ticking "Overwrite manually changed data point types", you can specify that manually set data point types in the data point list may not be overwritten. The data types are then nevertheless adopted as set in the ETS. Normally, this tick is not activated.

Confirm the dialogue by clicking on "Close and import".

 

The ETS data is now automatically imported into the EisBaer editor and displayed in the data point list.
