2. Right-click and choose Create Feedback-Point from the context menu.
3. A new input data point is created, having ‘_fb’ appended to the original name, e.g.,
‘nvoHumid101_fb’. Note, that the feedback data point maps to the same NV index as
the original output data point.
4. Choose an appropriate poll cycle in the data point properties for the feedback data
point.
6.8.4 Working with UNVTs, UCPTs
This device supports user-defined type, including user-defined network variable types
(UNVTs) and user-defined configuration property types (UCPTs). In order to interpret the
contents of user-defined types, the device resource files supplied by the vendor must be
added to the resource catalog on your PC.
Once the resource files are installed, the CEA-709 network scan and the LNS scan will
display the user-defined types from the resource files. Those data points can be used on the
device like regular, standard-type data points. Also manual creation of UNVTs can be
performed.
To Manually Create a Static UNVT
1. Perform the steps to manually create a static NV as described in Section 6.7.9.
2. When the Create New NV dialog appears, change the resource file from
‘STANDARD’ in the Resource File drop-down box to the desired, user-defined
resource file
3. Then select the desired UNVT from the Type drop-down list below. This list will
display the types of the selected resource file only.
4. Click Create Static NV to create the UNVT on the device.
6.9 Connections
6.9.1 Create a New Connection
After having configured the device’s network ports with data points, internal connections
between those data points can be created. Usually, the manual method to create a
connection is used to create n-way connections or connections for data points, where the
generate-and-auto-connect method cannot be applied.
A connection is an internal mapping in the device between input and output data points. A
connection always consists of one hub data point and one or multiple target data points.
Hub data points can be input or output. If the hub data point is an input, then the target data
points must be output and vice versa. All data points in the connection must be of a
compatible type.
To manually create a new connection
1. Click on the Connections tab
