Figure 6-27:Edit point parameter reference dialog

Edit point parameter reference dialog

This dialog box is used to select a new point reference, corresponding point reference number, and/or parameter. If displayed from the Edit Point window, the selection lists the default value. If displayed from the Point Connections window, the most consistent value is selected as the default.

Only valid references appear in the list boxes contained in this dialog box. The new reference can then be downloaded to the TankGate or stored locally if the TankGate is off-line.

6.6.4Configuring Multiple Points

The spreadsheet mode is one of the methods used to configure points. This method is the most beneficial when editing and viewing multiple points of the same type. Spreadsheets of each defined point are found in the Spreadsheet Summary section in the main window.

There are some differences between the regular and spreadsheet methods. First, the user is not able to view the Point Connections window in Spreadsheet Mode. This mode is used mainly for viewing and entering point data. Second, the spreadsheet focuses on points of a single type; it does not offer a “big picture” view of multiple point types.

6.6.4.1Adding Multiple Points

The user is able to add a point by using the same method used to add single points. The user can click on the Add Point icon or push-button from the toolbar or by selecting Add from the Point menu in the Main window. Once the point is added, the user is then able to define the point. Defined points appear

in the Point Icon Selection Area and in the Spreadsheet Summary of the Main window.

Note! The user can add a point by selecting Add from the Point menu in the Spreadsheet

Mode window. This menu is described later in the section.
