Maintaining your Calculated Interfaces
CFE allows you to configure and maintain the collection of Calculated interfaces which ACQ then interprets, executes and disseminates the results for other SCS components read, store, analyze and display.
Expanding any Calculated Interface will display the Message Definitions being calculated via that interface. You may only have a single (1) message per interface.
Expanding the Message Definition will display all the Data Fields defined inside that definition.
Creating Interfaces
To add a new Calculated Interface you can click the Calculated Interface link under the Add New Item dropdown in the main toolbar, or simply right click on the Calculated Interfaces tree node and choose Create Calculated Interface.
As with other items in CFE a base set of information is required before the object can be created.
For Calculated Interfaces you must supply the type and a display name.
Once you have supplied the basics above CFE will automatically add your new item to the appropriate place in the tree and select it for further editing. The detailed pane will now contain a new and mostly empty form. Fill out the remaining information the best that you can, any required fields will be highlighted for you. Don't forget to Save your changes!
Editing
As with other CFE items, a Calculated Interface details pane has two tabs, a Basic and an Advanced. Depending on which type of interface you are editing you will have a different set of items to edit. Please consult the help page matching the selected interface type for more information.
Removing
To remove a Calculated Interface simply right click on it in the tree list and choose the Delete option.
