    Default Remove unused/replaced probes from PLC

    I am helping a friend who just added his Expansion Box to his system. He relocated his temp, pH, and Redox probes from his ProfiLux unit to his Expansion Box. The problem is that the probes are still showing in his PLC under Probes/Sensor Controls > Sensor Overview

    How do you deactivate or deselect sensors that are no longer used/installed in your PLC software?

    Also since the original probes are still showing as "Active" they are reporting NULL values in the users SMS report.

    You can set for every sensor if it´s enabled or not - PLC->Probe/Sensor controls-> Sensor menu, middle left side -> Activity enabled/not enabled

    It´s not possible to remove the menue point for disabled sensors due the sensor input is physical still presend, even it´s not used.

    enable disable will prolly help, but still its annoying since they still show up if you iterate over them in email with the loops
    they are still there you you get strange mssages with dummy data ( annoying )

    It seems like this would be something easy to update from the "GHL" side to make it look and act in a more "Clean" manner.

    Hopefully Matthias is looking and he can put it on the list.
