12.3 Information Available for Non-HTML Devices
For devices without HTML support (non-HTML devices), Nform’s Navigate window displays data
points—you may select or rename these data points in the device setup (see 9.2.2 - Views tab).
This section describes how to query the device to display current values. Additionally, you can enter
set values for any data point, download those set values to Nform and view the definition of a data
point on certain devices.
