Use this command to populate a channel group with a node’s channels. This command also allows you to create nested channel groups corresponding to parameter folders.

Options

-l

Only create channels in groups without child groups. Groups with child groups and channels will be modified to include an additional child group with the parent’s channels.

chgpopulate -f /obj/model
Create a channel group called model, create subgroups derived from the names of model's parameter folders and add the channels to their corresponding groups.
