Reference a local .csv file with mappings (TagName-InstrumentTag) to shorten start-up times.

The .csv file with TagName-InstrumentTag mappings will allow start the interface without specifying the PointSource, which will potentially shorten the start-up times against systems with larg point count. Once the interface is running it will upd...

Support Regex engine in the message filters

It would be nice to have regex matching and replace in PI UFL ini files. Also, would be nice to have anything other than ASCII encoding support (ex UTF-8..with/without BOM, etc) Use cases: ex. we need to parse timestamps where year has either 2 o...
