hi list, Duc and Otto,thanks for the suggestion.We were able to use the g_edit utilities to configure our group displays and trend displays. I need one more help from the list. We were succesful in creating the required tend displays with the correct ranges,but were unable to get the historian name and the description for each tag in the trend displays. 1.I understand that by editing the historian name in the gdblk50,.db file, the historian name gets updated,.Can somebody give the exact syntax required for the same as these scripts are very syntax-specific. 2.Is there a way to update the descriptions which are same as that in the ICC in these trend displays by editing the configuration file, If yes which file needs to be modifired and what will be the syntax? Thanks & Regards, Maneesh Agrawal, Systems Engineer,Invensys Middle East,Kuwait Operations.

Documentation and examples are available. However, g_edit does not build FoxView (.fdf) displays.

Not the easiest of utilities to master, but it'll do exactly what you want. Duc -- Duc M. Do Dow Corning Corp.

We have to configure around 50-60 trend displays and were thinking of a possibilty of having a text file with the required info like C:B.P, the ranges, historian name etc and run the scripts or utilities to generate these displays.
