Pup Point Manager discover notes

After clicking OK in the PUP point discovery config dialog, the discovery “Learn Mode” splits the Pup Point Manager into two panes—the top “Discovered” pane and the lower “Database” pane (Figure 16).

Note that the first (default) attribute of each channel is listed, with a “+” mark in front of the channel number if there are additional attributes in that channel. To access the additional attributes o a channel, click on the “+” to expand, as shown in Figure 17.

Single or multiple attributes can be added as control points with PupProxyExt extensions by selecting the discovered row(s) in the top pane, and clicking Add. Doing so will cause the “Add” dialog box to appear, as shown in Figure 18.

The Add dialog from the Pup Point Manager lets you edit points individually or in a batch.

NoteThe “Attribute Type” determines which proxy point “Type” can be created. For a list of valid mappings, see Mapping of PUP Attribute Types to Proxy Extensions.

Once the point(s) are satisfactorily edited in the Add dialog, click the OK button to create the PUP proxy points corresponding to the channel attributes. For more details, see the next section PUP proxy points.

You can rerun a point discover as many times as needed. If there are many channels and attributes, you may wish to add multiple PupPointFolders (using New Folder button), and run a series of differently configured point discovers (Figure 15) for each one, using the Pup Point Manager view available with each folder.
