I'm new this but you have to configure the Channel, Node, and possible the Scan Class before you can start editing the Tag Database. I would suggest looking for publication/Catelog Number ABT-9301-TSJ50 - June 2002. You might be able to go to AB.com and find it listed as a download. I think it is about 318 pages long. The book might be a little old but it has the proceedure for getting a project started up. I'm currently right at that point and have not configured my system yet but will, hopefully, have it done before the weekend. I have three days to have preliminary project control screens ready for the customers visit! Such fun.
