Configuring Groups
You can only configure groups after you have configured points for your site.
To configure groups, you need to be using Station with a security level of SUPV
(or higher). Security levels and the procedures for changing security levels are
described in “Configuring Security and Access” on page 209.
About Groups and Displays
When you configure groups, information for up to eight related points can be
viewed on a single Station display.
Each group (and display) can contain a mixture of point types: analog, status,
accumulator, and flexible points.
The total number of groups you can create depends on the size of your database.
See the installation guide for information about the relationship between
database size and the number of available groups.
By configuring groups for your site, you can access the following standard
display types in addition to the standard Group display:
These displays are described in detail in the Operators Guide.
