Changing Point Configuration via Station Displays
After a point definition has been stored in the server database, you can use the
Point Detail display on Station to view configuration details for the point.
You can also use a Point Detail display to change point configuration
information, but you must be using Station at a security level of SUPV or higher.
Most point configuration information can be changed in Point Detail displays.
The following information cannot be changed via these displays:
• Source and destination addresses
• Scan periods
• Additional algorithms
• Status point ranges
• State descriptors
• Point ID
Note When you use a Point Detail display to change the point configuration data in the
server database, the configuration data in the Quick Builder project file will no
longer match the server database.
It is good practice to keep the Quick Builder data synchronized with the server
data by using the Quick Builder upload function to upload point data from the
server database to the Quick Builder project file database.
Calling Up a Point Detail Display
To call up a Point Detail display in Station, in the command zone on any Station
display, type the point ID, then select the Detail button on the tool bar, or press
<F12>.
There is a different Point Detail display for each point type.
