CHAPTER 3
Points
This chapter describes CX-Supervisor points and the procedures associated with the creation,
amendment and removal of points using the Points Editing facility. The application of external
sources to points is also described.
What is a Point?
A point is a variable used internally by CX-Supervisor. All points within CX-Supervisor have a
name, group and type associated with them.
CX-Supervisor provides a set of pre-defined System ($) Points, which are detailed in chapter 3
Points.

database.

An example of the Point Editor dialog is as follows:
The typeface of the editor can be amended by selecting Preferences from the File menu. This is
especially useful when printing.

again with the <Shift> key down to mark the end.
