Edit (Digital) Point dialog

This window is used to view and modify the Dynamic and Configuration parameters of the selected point. The Edit Point window is identified by the Point Description and associated current Point Number listed at the top of the window.

This window contains two list boxes and a series of push-buttons. The top list box contains the configuration parameters of the point, while the bottom list box contains Dynamic and Command parameters.

The first column contains the name of the parameter and the second column contains descriptions of the parameters. The third column of the Configuration parameters section contains the default data. The user can change a value by double-clicking an entry and entering the new variable. If a TankGate is connected and on-line, the third column of the Dynamic parameters will update in real-time.

The user is able to perform a series of functions from selecting the push-buttons found in the bottom of the Edit Point window. Each push-button is described below.

Minimize

The Minimize push-button creates a “mini window” of selected parameters. This push- button enables the user to observe relationships between dynamic parameters and how the changes affect the point.
