Figure 10: Import Wizard
When importing data, one can be guided by the Import Wizard, which is particularly
advisable in the beginning. To do so, this function must be enabled in the ETS settings
(see section 1.8.5).

1.9.1 Product data import
You can obtain product data from the manufacturers either on a CD or via the internet. It
is also possible to import product data from existing ETS3 databases.
Databases from which you can import data can be recognised by their file extensions:
Files with the extension .knxprod are databases in XML data format for ETS4.
Product databases for ETS3 and ETS2 have the file extension .vd?. The question
mark stands for the numbers 1 – 5 or an x, depending on which ETS version the data
was originally intended for.
Databases with the ending .db are databases from ETS3 or ETS2.

You select a file by pressing the button in the Import Wizard on page 1 File. You
will then see the selection box displayed in the screenshot. This window is also directly
displayed, if the export function is retrieved without Wizard.
