Spreadsheet to webpage conversion system and method

Abstract

A spreadsheet to web page conversion system and method is disclosed for remotely programming and configuring control and monitoring devices. The approach is based on receiving a web page from a monitoring device via a configuration computer. The web page includes data that is arranged in rows and columns, with each row corresponding to an object and each cell in each row corresponding to a property of the object. The computer is configured to receive a user selection of data in the web page. The selected data may then be enumerated by the monitoring device and sent to the computer. The computer may receive the enumerated properties of the objects and copy them from the web page to a temporary memory space on the computer. The computer may then paste the copied data from the temporary memory space into a spreadsheet application running on the computer for revision.
