Commanding Point Values
Commanding a point means using the Point Commander application to manually
override the system program instructions for either an output point or a virtual input
point. Point commanding changes the command priority from NONE.
This procedure is only available to users with Command or higher access to points.
Steps for Commanding Point Values
1. Access the Commanding window through the Devices/Points bar in the navigation
pane on the left side of the screen.
2. Drill down to the desired point.
3. Double-click the point name (or click the Command icon to the right of the point
name) to open the basic (default) Commanding window.
4. For points that have priority array, toggle between the Basic and Advanced
command options using the Advanced/Basic button at the bottom of the
Commander window.
5. Make the necessary changes in the Commander window. For more information
about the fields available in the Commander window, see the User Interface
Description for the Point Commander Application [➙ 42] section.
6. Click Command to initiate the changes and begin controlling the point with the new
settings.
NOTE: It is not necessary to select or clear the Out of Service check box in a
separate step.
 The status of the command displays in the Feedback field.
This procedure is now complete. Close the
Commander window by clicking the X in the
top right corner of the window.
