Importing and exporting

Storing and reusing configuration

The configuration of registers, as described in previous sections, can be saved and loaded in a project file. These settings can be saved in a .mbs file by going to File > Save Project As… and loaded by going to File > Open Project… or by dragging a .mbs file into the application.

Exporting data/image

Current log results can be exported as an image or as data (.csv) file. You can select either File > Save Data File As… or File > Export Image As… to do so. It is important to note that saving a project/data file or exporting an image can only be done when logging is not active.

Import register definitions from mbc file

ModbusControl is an application that can be used to read and write data from Modbus slaves. It is possible to import the register definitions from a ModbusControl project file (.mbc) into ModbusScope by clicking on Import from .mbc file in the register dialog or by dragging and dropping the .mbc file into the main screen of ModbusScope. This makes it easy to add register definitions to ModbusScope from a ModbusControl project file.
