Methods
The DeviceTemplate object contains the following methods:
•
•
Import
Summary
Import an external interface from an XIF or XFB file into a
device template. This updates the property values of the
device template with the information from the imported
external interface
.
The XFB file must be version 3.0 or later.
If you commission a device without an imported external
interface, which will cause the interface to be uploaded from
the device, you can invoke this method later to refresh the
external interface and incorporate the additional information
provided by the XIF file.
After you use the Import method on a DeviceTemplate , you
should call the ResyncToTemplate method on all of the
AppDevice objects using the DeviceTemplate to resynchronize
those devices with the updated information.

this case, some of the information contained in the
DeviceTemplate , including the formatting of its configuration
properties, may be invalid.
You could also use this method if the device resource files
