A device’s Points extension (or simply Points) serves as the top parent container for real-time data values originating from that device.

These values are “proxied” using NiagaraAX control points, or proxy points. Values can be both read from data values in that device, and written to value stores in the device.

You create all proxy points using the Point Manager view of Points—simply double-click Points under any device component, or right-click Points and select Views->Point Manager. See Point Manager for more details.

For general information on control points, refer to “About control points” in the User Guide. See the next section About proxy points for further details on proxy points.
