Deleting a Counter Channel

To delete a Counter channel:

Note - You can only access this function if you have the Can access Counters permission. You can only add or update a counter if you have the Can configure permission. If you need to access these functions and do not have permission, please contact your system administrator.

Note - If a Counter is assigned to a Group, the output records in .uhh file format on the device. If you delete a Counter channel it is automatically removed from any associated recording Group. Historical data for that Counter is available on the device or via Data Reviewer, but recreating a Counter with the same descriptor does not reinstate the link to the historical data.

From the EPM Data User Interface screen, select Options - Functions - Counters:
The Counters screen displays:

From the list in the left-hand pane, locate the counter to delete.

Tip - Remember you can use Sort or Filters to find a specific counter, see Sorting and Filtering Counters for details.
Select Options - Delete on the Counter no longer required:
The Delete Channel screen displays:

Select either:
- Cancel to return to the Counters screen, or
- Delete to confirm.
  
  Note - All Alarms and Jobs associated with this channel are also deleted.
Once complete, select Review pending changes screen to review updates to the configuration, and submit them. See Reviewing and Submitting Changes for details if required.Reviewing and submitting can be completed in bulk once you have completed all your additions and/or updates.
