Configuring Algorithms
PlantScape Server and Client Configuration Guide 195
Algorithms #16 and #69 are also documented in the Application Development
Guide.
Defining Algorithms
To define an algorithm for a point:
1 Select the point item in the Quick Builder item list.
2 In the PV Algo box or the Action Algo box, select the type of algorithm you
need to configure.
3 Select the PV Algo tab or the Action Algo tab and complete the fields.
Online Help for Algorithms
Online help for configuring algorithms is available in Quick Builder. For a
description of the Algorithm fields, position the cursor in the field you are
interested in, and press <F1>.
Viewing Algorithm Configuration Information
After an algorithm has been configured for a point, you can view the algorithm
details at a Station via the Point Detail display.
To call up the Algorithm Detail display:
1 Call up the Point Detail display for a point (as described in “Changing Point
Configuration via Station Displays” on page 178). The currently configured
PV or Action algorithm number is under Algorithms at the bottom right of
the display.
2 Click the algorithm number and then press <F12> or go to the View menu
and select Detail. The Algorithm Detail display for the selected algorithm
appears, with the algorithm block number shown in the title bar of the
display.
Note When you use an Algorithm 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.
