Digital Point Wizard

Below are the settings for points with a point type of digital.

Digital Settings Tab

Allow this point to be manually changed by users
This checkbox must be selected for the point to be modifiable by the user.

Digital Text
The digital text setting allows the point to be displayed as something other than ON or OFF.

Several preset pairs of digital text labels are available in the drop-down box above the edit area. Any
custom labels may also be used by typing directly in the editing area.

The format for digital text labels is:

0:Normal
1:Alarm

The 0 label (Normal) will be displayed when the point is OFF (or zero). The 1 label (Alarm) is used when
the point is ON (or any non-zero value). There should be no extra spaces anywhere except in the text
label itself.
