Edit Point view, Configuration tab

This view configures individual points. These can be module points or camera event points. You use this view to set up alarms for the event and to configure histories. You can also provide links from an event to other available Boolean-writable points.

NOTE: This description covers both reader and input/output points. Differences are noted where appropriate.

Figure 236. Edit Point (input view) for a remote module

The point’s display name appears at the top of the view. The screen captures show two flavors of this view. The one with three tabs opens when you edit a camera event point. The one with two tabs opens when you edit a remote module point.

There are several ways to access the views that edit points. For example:

To access camera points, you click Controller Setup > Remote Devices > Remote Drivers followed by double-clicking the Axis Video Network row in the table, click the Cameras tab, double-click a camera row in the table, click the Events tab, discover events, and double-click an event row.
To access module points you clickController Setup > Remote Devices > Remote Modules > Remote Module Setup , double-click the module row in the table, click the Additional Points tab, and click a link to a point.

Module point links

The Manage Devices link opens the Manage Devices window.
The Base Reader Module link opens the Base Reader Module properties.

Camera event point links

The Manage Extensions link opens the Manage Point Extensions window.
The camera configuration view opens the camera tab.

Remote module point properties

Property	Value	Description
Edit button and Facets	button and additional properties	Defines the units displayed for a point. For example, if a point is inactive or false, one may set the facet to “locked” or “normal” depending on how the system uses the point.
Status	read-only	Reports the status of the point.
Enabled	`true` and `false`	Turns the feature on (true) and off (false).
Inactive State	`Open` and `Closed`	Defines the normally inactive state of the digital input or relay output as either `Open` or `Closed`, depending on the device requirements.

Camera event point properties

Properties	Value	Description
Facets	Edit button	Opens a window for configuring the text that appears when a camera event occurs.
Proxy Ext	additional properties	Expands to display proxy extension properties, which apply to camera events. Refer to Proxy Extension properties.
Status	read-only	Reports the status of the point.

Proxy Extension properties

Figure 237. Proxy Ext properties

In addition to the standard properties (Status, Fault Cause, and Enabled), these properties support camera events.

Property	Value	Description
Device Facets	additional properties	Opens an Edit window for managing facet definitions.
Conversion	drop-down list, defaults to `Default`	Defines how the system converts proxy extension units to parent point units. `Default` automatically converts similar units (such as Fahrenheit to Celsius) within the proxy point. `Linear` applies to voltage input, resistive input and voltage output writable points. Works with linear-acting devices. You use the Scale and Offset properties to convert the output value to a unit other than that defined by device facets. `Reverse Polarity` applies only to Boolean input and relay output writable points. Reverses the logic of the hardware binary input or output. `500 Ohm Shunt` applies to voltage input points only. It reads a 4-to-20mA sensor, where the Ui input requires a 500 ohm resistor wired across (shunting) the input terminals. `Tabular Thermistor` applies to only a Thermistor input point and involves a custom resistance-to-temperature value response curve for Type 3 Thermistor temperature sensors.
Tuning Policy Name	drop-down list, defaults to `Default Policy`.	Identifies the assigned tuning policy. During polling, the system uses such collections of rules to evaluate both write requests and the acceptability (freshness) of read requests.
Read Value	read-only	Reports the last value read using device facets.
Write Value	read-only	Reports the last value written using device facets. Applies only to writable points.
Most Recent Event	read-only
Auto Expiration	`true` (default) or `false`	Turns this feature on and off.
Auto Expiration Interval	+ or — hours, minutes, seconds (defaults to 45 seconds.	Configures when the event is no longer valid.
Point Id	read-only	Identifies the point.
Enable Detection On Boot	`true` (default) or `false`	Configures the system to enable detection of this point when the station starts.
