Tips for Using the Point Commander Application

Points can be commanded from the Navigation pane or from an animated graphic. See the FINlite Graphics Tool section for information on commanding a point from a graphic.

You can only command points if you have been given Command or higher access level to the point.

–Both analog and digital points can be commanded.

–Generally, only output points (AO, BO, and MSO) or virtual points (AV, BV, MSV) can be commanded; however, AI and BI input points can be commanded if taken out of service first.

If the same point is commanded from two different sessions, the command with the higher priority will override. If the commands are made with the same priority, the last command will override the earlier command.

Multi State Input Object (MSI) points are not supported on the FLN.

Use caution when moving the Commander window around the screen. If you move it too far up the screen, you may not be able to access the title bar and move the screen back down into view.

Using the Point Commander Application

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.
