Michael,
Try the Foxboro utility d_edit (there will be several versions on your
system depending on your platform. We use d_edit50 for our 51 series boxes.
The utility documentation is under something like: Display Reporter and
Connection Editor. For the first couple of trends you change, try using
the -dump and -upload features, you take a display file, generate and
editable listing with "d_edit50 -dump filename" (makes file filename.dmp)
use your editor to modify the trend references, and upload with
"d_edit50 -upload filename" where filename is the original display file
name. Using -dump and -upload makes it easy to see the changes you are
making. After you've seen just what needs to be changed, it should be easy
to use a script to quickly make those changes on all your trend files.
