When the Initial settings button is selected in the SCADAConnect toolbar, the following dialog opens:

The user selects whether to use a Historical or Real Time datasource. The mapping between the SCADA system and the hydraulic model must be created before the initial condition can be imported. If a Historical data set is selected, the user must pick a time for which values are imported. If a real time datasource is selected, the most recent values are used.

If "Ignore inactive elements" is checked, only values for active elements are imported. This can help speed up imports.
