5.4 Import Variable Streamer
In addition to creating a new variable streamer, you can also import a legacy data stream protocol definitions file (.ds or .txt).
Once imported, you can set up and use the streamer as you would a new or an 5.5 Auto-Configure Variable Streamer variable streamer. For the later, when the serial source is selected as the input on the variable streamer, it will attempt to find .db and .sc files that match the auto-configure ID. On a successful file match, the auto-configure process completes and the dashboard is shown. The variable streamer will be renamed accordingly.
