Exporting Product Specifications        

Menu: Tools>Equipment>Equipment Library ~ File>Save Product Spec File [*.xml]

Default keyboard shortcut: NONE

Function:

Exports the selected device product specification to a standard xml file format. The xml file can be read and edited by a standard text editor. The file naming convention follows this format: ManufacturerName.ProductName.xml Though there is no reason for this other than to create an easy reference by manufacturer.
