Point Commander Application Overview
All points and point-like objects (AO, BO, MSO, AV, BV and MSV) with priority array
can be commanded from the BACnet Field Panel Web Server navigation tree, from a
graphic screen, and/or from a trend graph. Point value, status, and priority can be
commanded.
Point types without priority array (AI, BI, AV, BV and MSV) can be commanded from
the commander navigation tree and/or from a graphic screen. Point value and status
can be commanded.

CAUTION
Command points only when you know the possible effects of making a change.
Ideally, only command points when making temporary changes, such as setpoint
changes, or when commanding modes of operation, such as DAY and NIGHT. It is
inefficient to place a point in Operator (OPER) command priority or to Disable a point
(Out of Service) for long periods of time or permanently.
