Enable Monitoring Enables monitoring for the selected data point. Creates a monitor
set and monitor point for a network variable data point if one is
selected. All network variable Data Point shapes and monitored
network variable connections in the same subsystem are placed in
one LNS monitor set.
This check box is cleared by default.
Use Absolute
Subsystem Path Controls how the LonMaker tool interprets a new Data Point shape
created from a copy (an existing Data Point shape or a master
shape). This check box is cleared by default.
If this check box is selected, the same data point will be monitored
in a new Data Point shape.
If this check box is cleared, the LonMaker tool will attempt to
locate the appropriate data point using the relative
subsystem\device\functional block path of the source. In addition,
you can create a Data Point shape that you can copy to a different
subsystem and have it refer to a data point in that subsystem.
Enable Value
Updates Allows you to enter a new value for the selected data point, which
will then be updated in the LNS network database. This check box
is cleared by default.
If the selected data point is an input network variable, a
device-specific configuration property, or a functional block state,
the device will be updated in addition to the LNS network database.
If the selected data point is a non–device-specific configuration
property, only the LNS network database will be updated. This
option is unavailable for output network variables.
If this check box is cleared, you can double-click the Data Point
shape to update it with the current value of the selected data point.
CP Value from
Device Enables configuration property values to be updated and queried
directly to and from the device. This option is only available if the
selected data point is a configuration property.
This check box is selected by default for device-specific
configuration properties, and it is cleared for non–device-specific
configuration properties.

properties for the selected data point.
Label Selects the text displayed underneath the Data Point shape. The
options available depend on the selected data point. You can also
enter your own label for the Data Point shape. If you enter your
