Creating input and output points
An Input Point contains data received from field equipment, database calculations
or another FuelsManager database. Both types of points require an input source
but, the user only selects an output destination for the Output point.
Note! You must first select a point
format before the other attributes
can be addressed. Once selected,
the default minimum and maximum
values appear in the Minimum and
Maximum Value edit boxes if the
format is numeric.
