Files Used by the DME DESIGNER
The following files are used by the DME designer application.
Project Files
Systems built with DME Designer are saved as project files. Project files have “.daf” as the extension
for their filenames.
These files include settings for the area, zones, device groups, configurations, and each parameter.
Since only one project file can be open at a time, before you can open a second file, the first one must
be closed.
The commands for opening project files, creating new ones, and saving them, are found in the [File]
menu of the Main Panel window.
