Programs

Add a program in the

Device Tree

See

for more information.

Program Wizard

Settings Tab

Label
Label is the name of the item as displayed in the

Device Tree

.

All items in the

Device Tree

are sorted alphabetically by label.

Folders

can be used to organize items.

Description

Description is optional text that describes the item. It can be any descriptive text or be left blank.

Group Settings Tab

These determine which user groups can see this item in the tree. Unchecking the default “Allow Everyone”
enables selecting individual groups. If a group cannot see an item, items under it are also unseen.

There are “Check All” and “Uncheck All” buttons in the upper-right corner to make major changes easier.

Advanced Tab

Name
If left blank, this is assigned automatically. We recommend the default value not be changed. It can be up to
48 characters. Only A

–Z, a–z, 0–9, period (.) and underscore (_) are allowed. Names are case sensitive.

Program Editor

Left-click a program icon in the tree to edit simple code to be written to control setpoints, outputs and
other points.

Every effort has been made to minimize the effects of user programming errors, but it is not possible to

protect against every error a user could make. Programs could have undesired effects on equipment and
devices, including but not limited to short-cycling of outputs, setting point to invalid values, etc. The accuracy
and proper operation of user programming is the responsibility of the user and not the dealer, supplier or
manufacturer of Contemporary Controls BASview. Use of the programming feature is entirely at your own risk.
