7.6.2 Configuring Single Points
Configuring the point involves entering configuration parameters. In some cases, connections
between points must also be required in order to perform a function. All of these steps can be
implemented from the Point Connections window. To display the Point Connections window,
follow one of the methods listed below:
Adding a Point
The user is able to add a point or point type by clicking on the Add Point push-button
from the toolbar or by selecting Add from the Point menu.Once the point is added, the
user is then able to configure the point. Defined point types appear in the Point Icon
Selection Area and in the Spreadsheet Summary of the main window.
Entering Point Data
This section describes how to configure the parameters of any point. Each point has its own Edit
Point window that requires some degree of configuration. Both the configuration and dynamic
attributes of the point are found in the Edit Point Window. From this window, the user is able to
view and edit database parameters.
Several methods can be used to display this window depending on the user’s current location in
the program:
•
If in the Main window, select Edit from the Point menu. Select the desired point type and
corresponding point number.
•
If in the main window, double-right click on the point icon.
•
If in the Point Connections window, double-left click on the focus point icon.
