A sensor database is an external file in CSV format. Sensors with their most important parameters are stored in this file. A sensor database serves to simplify the configuration of commercially available sensors.

The signal database is also an external file in CSV format. If the Signals and measuring points are always named the same, the names or comments can be stored in the file. The user then does not have to make the input again manually for each configuration.

In CSMconfig, both files are integrated in the program settings. Changes in the files are automatically accepted after a restart of CSMconfig.
