Creates and loads real-time databases (RTDBs) for editing. This and subsequent forms are accessed through the Map I/O menu. Each RTDB belongs to a resource group that individual users may be authorized to access. An RTDB consists of:
• a collection of I/O points which can hold numeric, boolean, or string values
• mappings of these points to hardware registers or message fields
• optional conversion functions that convert between the raw hardware values and the engineering units of the I/O point
This form works much like a file browser.
