You can export process data sheets for lines or instruments in .ipd (Smart Instrumentation process data) format for use with the Process Data Editor. In this way, you can allow an external party (contractor, engineering company, and so forth) to modify your process data outside of Smart Instrumentation. The .ipd format allows you to include multiple tags in a single file.

You cannot export analyzer process function process data to .ipd format.
