12.3.2 Set Values
Nform allows you to enter a set value for certain data points—only those with Write permission,
noted by “W” in the Variable Permission column, as shown below. A set value determines when Nform
performs a particular action, such as displaying an alarm for a device. As an example, you might want
to enter a high-temperature value of 85°F as an alarm setpoint for a MiniMate2 unit. Actual values
for any device will depend on your application. Set value variables can also be used for control and
configuration functions, such as audible alarm control or temperature sensor state.
For help on the definition of a data point or its allowable values, see 12.3.4 - View Data Definition.
To enter a set value:
• Log on as Administrator.
• Click on Nform’s Navigate tab.
• In the left side of the window, click on the device you wish to change.
• In the right side of the window, right-click on a data point with Write access and choose Enter a
Set Value from the pop-up menu.
• In the Enter Set Value box, enter the value and click OK.
• Repeat this for each data point for which you wish to enter a set value.
• Proceed to the next section, 12.3.3 - Download Device to complete this process. Nform does not
recognize a set value until the value has been downloaded to the device.
