Aliases can be used to give any server item a user-defined name. Aliases can be seen as a short-cut to the original server item. Therefore, an alias is not a copy of the source item – it is just alternative way to access an item. Aliases can be used to give physical datapoints a more descriptive name. Furthermore, aliases can also be arranged in a user-defined hierarchy.
The structure of the alias definition file is as follows:
' Aliases Definition File
'
' SourceItemID;Name;Path
NETx\XIO\KNX\BROADCAST\03/0/002;LightOff;BuildingA\Floor1\
NETx\XIO\BACnet\Device1\ANALOG_VALUE_0\ANALOG_VALUE_0 - PRIO 15;HeatingSetpoint;BuildingA\Floor1\RoomA
Each line – except comment lines that start with ' – defines a single alias.
<tr> <td>1</td> <td>SourceItemID</td> <td></td> <td> This is the source ItemID of the alias. </td> </tr>
<tr> <td>2</td> <td>Name</td> <td></td> <td> Here the name of the alias has to be specified.
</td> </tr>
<tr> <td>3</td> <td>Path</td> <td></td> <td> Optionally, the alias can be arranged in a hierarchy which can be defined here. The different levels of the hierarchy must be delimited with "\". </td> </tr>
