Tutorial: Adding Points to a Device

A control point, or just a "point" is any physical or logical control point on a device. Inputs, outputs, setpoints and variables on a device are all considered "points".

1. Right-click a device in the device tree and select "New Point".

2. Each type of point will have different settings. Fill out the point form and click "Finish". Click the help icon on the point screen for more information on that type of point. Click the "Back" button in the browser to return to the tutorial.

Depending on the type of network, there may be an option to scan the device for points. This option will automatically search the device for points and allow them to be easily added to the tree.

3. The device tree should now contain an icon for the new point. Clicking the point in the tree should display a window with the current value, and allow changing the value if the point settings allow it.

4. Repeat this process for each point needed. Be sure to read about templates to make duplicating points easier.
