Hi Joe,
Go in the historian tool in the right menu.
Then a= t the top there is a button there called BULK AIM CONFIGURATION (or
somethi= ng like that - sorry do not have the software in front of me)
That t= ool will allow you to create inp files to ADD DELETE and MODIFY AIM

Let me know if you find and and it worked as you needed

Hi Joe,
You can also use Foxr= ay / System Auditor to bulk modify your AIM
historian.
It has very usefu= l features such as updating descriptions, ranges, units
from the CP data= base. The tool generates a .inp file for you to load at
the
end.

When people take the time to explain what the= y have learned, as you
have done, it makes this list so much more v= aluable today, and in the

Thanks again.
