Editing UPC data
UPC (user programmable control) allows you to operate control elements in response to the state at locations within the network, and thus control flows throughout the system.
UPC simulations require you to create one or more UPC scenarios. You edit these scenarios on the UPC window.
Editing options
- Right-click the left pane of the UPC window to display a context menu. The options on this menu are described in the UPC window topic.
- To add a title to the UPC scenario, click the Global record at the top of the left pane of the UPC window. Enter a title in the Description pane that appears in the right pane of the window.
- To show the items associated with a regulator, click the
box to the left of the regulator name; to
hide the items, click the 
box. - To edit the definition of an item, click the item and then edit the details in the right pane, as described in the UPC window topic.
- To change the order of items for a regulator or move items from one regulator to another, drag the necessary items to a new position in the tree. Note that the order of regulators within the scenario is not important.
Copying and pasting UPC data
UPC data can be copied between different objects within the UPC scenario, or between different scenarios in different UPC windows.
Data is copied via the Windows clipboard, so the two scenarios do not need to be open at the same time. However, the data is stored in a special InfoWorks WS Pro format and so cannot be pasted into other applications.
Multiple regulators or dependants can be selected for copy and paste by holding down the Shift or Ctrl keys while making a selection.
Use the Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V keys to copy and paste, or right-click and choose the appropriate option from the context menu.
