Rule Conversion

Conversion to Control-O consists of extracting automation information from your currently used product and translating it into Control-O rules that perform similar functions. The automatic step of the conversion process is performed by conversion utility CTOFANCI.

The basic component of automation information used as input for the conversion is the input rule. Each rule describes actions to be performed in a specific circumstance. One or more input rules may exist in a single input library. Input rules defined for multiple automation products can be processed in a single run of the conversion utility.

The main output of the conversion utility consists of Control-O rules and Rule tables. The Control-O rules produced as part of the conversion process are referred to as "output rules" throughout this guide.

Below is a description of the basic components of Control-O rules and how they are automatically generated from information in the input libraries by conversion utility CTOFANCI.
