Creating and editing triggered points
A Triggered Point serves as a monitor that views a single database point (such as
an input point from a gauge). You can set the trigger point to send to an output
point, OPC server or PLC when it observes a change in the point its monitoring.
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.
