    mtarchive

    Archive file format

    MultiTool can export the project in .mtarchive format in addition to saving it in the .mtproject format. The archive file format .mtarchive includes for example the device descriptions and libraries of all the programmable units in the project. For slave units, the eds files are also included in the archive. When opening an .mtarchive file, MultiTool can install the devices and libraries to CODESYS and the eds files to MultiTools device repository.
