Resetting the Totalized Value

The totalized value can be reset to any valid value for the selected point type.

To reset the totalized value:

pane on the left side of the screen.

2. Drill down to the desired point.

3. Double-click the point name (or single-click the command icon to the right of the

point name) to open the basic (default) Commanding window.

4. Enter the reset value in the Totalized Value field.

5. Click Command to reset the value and begin totalizing.

6. Close the Commander window using the X in the top right corner of the window.

Priority Arrays

The Point Commander application allows you to change the priority for commandable

points. For more information about point priority, see the

APOGEE BACnet ALN Field

Panel User's Manual

(125-3020).

Point priority can be changed using the basic or advanced

Commanding window.

Toggle between the

Basic and Advanced command options using the Advanced/Basic

button at the bottom of the

Commander window.

In the basic Commanding window, you can command the point to a new value and can

change only one priority, but in the advanced

Commanding window, you can populate

the entire priority array with values.

CAUTION

Release All Commanded Points

Remember to eventually release all commanded points to NULL priority so that the

system is automatically controlled.

In the Current Value field on the Basic or Advanced Commander window, type N.

NULL will be auto-filled into the field.

Failure to release commanded points may lead to unexpected results.

This procedure is only available to users with Command or higher access to points.

Changing Point Priority (Basic Commanding Window)

In the basic

Commanding window, the (@) field displays the current priority and allows

you to change the point priority.

1. Use the drop-down arrow to change the priority.

2. Click Command to initiate the change. The status of the command displays in the

Feedback field.

 The point value displays in the

(@) field, as well as in the current highest priority

field in the advanced Commanding window.
