POINT SELECTION

5.8.1 Selecting Points Using Lists

Many of the functions performed from the interface panel display point specific data.
Every system point is part of the "Select a List of Points" list in the main menu. All
points can be displayed sequentially by address order using this list option. To
facilitate the search for a particular point, lists may be selected by type groupings
(monitors, signals, auxiliary, input/output, pseudo points, etc.). A list of points may
be selected, then scrolled through by using the <NEXT> and <PREVIOUS> keys.
Selecting a list of points will expedite the search for a specific point with a minimum
of scrolling.
The following lists are available for selection with the "Select a List of Points" option
from the Main Function Menu:
• All Monitor Zones
• All Signal Points
• All Auxiliary Relay Points
• All Auxiliary Feedback Points
• All Zones of 24-Point I/O Card
• All Digital Pseudo Points
• All Analogue Pseudo Points
• All List Pseudo Points
• All Points by Address List
• All Network Points.

5.8.2 Selecting Points Using the Keyboard

Rather than scrolling through a list, you may use the keypad to select a point. If the
input represents a valid point in the system, that point will be shown on the
alphanumeric display. After a point has been displayed, you can scroll through all
the points in the system from that point, or select another point directly by entering
another identifier using the keypad.
You have the choice of entering a point number or an address number. The format
for entering a point identifier address requires a hyphen. Only numbers and the
hyphen keys are valid entries.
identifier input is eleven (11), including the hyphens, excluding the <ENTER> key.

5.8.3 Selecting Additional Lists

logs generated by the system, depending on the nature of the condition. These logs
are:
• Historical Alarm Log
