obixDriver-ObixExportManager
This view discovers, adds, and manages export descriptors (ObixExports) for control points in the local station, such that
remote oBIX clients can participate in continuous control applications (meaning, link into specific prioritized inputs of
specific points). It is the default view of the ObixExportFolder under the Obix Network.

Discovered pane
Although not a standard view in the driver architecture, it is similar to other manager views in that there is a Discovered pane (if in Learn mode) and a Database pane.
The Discovered pane in the Obix Export Manager view has these available columns:
Discovered pane columns
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | Reports the name of the component in the local station. |
| Path | Reports the station path of the component, relative to the root. |
| Type | Identifies the type of component. Currently, only writable control points (including writable proxy points) can be added to the database: BooleanWritable, EnumWritable, NumericWritable, and StringWritable. |
Database pane
By default, these columns appear in the Discovered pane of the Obix Export Manager view:
Database pane columns
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | Reports the name of the export descriptor, often left the same as the source control point. |
| Point | Reports the ORD for the slot in the station for this control point. |
| Value | Reports the current out value for the control point. |
| Priority | Identifies the Priority input of the control point exported (linked) to oBIX for remote writes.
|
| Fault Reason |
Explains why an export descriptor is in fault. Typically, this reflects an invalid configuration, such as selecting a
Priority level that is already linked on the target control point.
|
| Facets | If configured, shows the facets in use by the target control point. |
