In order to include spare terminals in the above-mentioned types of device lists, the pre-processing described above must be activated, and a suitable filter for the sum-type must be applied.

 

The *2.DBF TARGET database without spare terminal pre-processing supports four different types of device lists. With spare terminal pre-processing, an additional four are supported, making a total of eight, as described in the table below.

 

A filter on the SUMTYPE field of the TARGET database is used to specify which type of device list to create. Associated report variables are called !ANTALSTYP and !SUMTYPE. You can use either one.

 

Associated “sum-types” are specified below, both previously existing ones and the newly added ones.

BSP

Yes

ANL

No

ASP

ORT

OSP

AUO

A typical filter will look like this:

 

!SUMTYPE = BSP

 

That would result in an ordinary device list by item designation but with spare terminals included.
