To demonstrate that the four dynamic network variables act as a logical circuit,
open the LonMaker Browser for the FTXL device and set the values for the three
input network variables and observe the value of the output network variable,
which should be the sum of the three inputs:
1. Right-click the FTXL device on the LonMaker drawing and select Browse
to open the LonMaker Browser window.
2. Select the row for the nviAmpA01 network variable.
3. Enter a value for the network variable in the Value field at the top of the
window. Click the Set value button to set the network variable’s value.
4. Select the row for the nvoAmpA network variable, and click the Get value
button to see its current value.
