appears, click on Add. A dialog similar to the one shown in Figure 12-3 appears.
2. Enter data in the initial dialog's fields, as follows:

• Point Type Name. Enter a seven-character name for the point in this text entry field.
This point name can then be assigned to the analog ZAM point editing screen. The
point editing screen is accessible through either the Hardware Tab or the Point Tab.
• Alarm Type. The alarm type you choose determines how the ES Panel reacts when the
device attached to the ZAM crosses the threshold that you define for it. (The threshold
is defined in a step below.) Choices for this field are as follows:
Alarm Type
Causes the system to generate a fire alarm when the device crosses the
threshold.
Creates a latching supervisory condition when the device crosses the
threshold. This means that the supervisory condition on the panel does
not clear until the point restores to normal and a system reset is
performed.
Generates a priority 2 alarm when the device crosses the threshold.
Generates a supervisory condition when the device crosses the
threshold.
Generates a trouble condition when the device crosses the threshold.
Defines the point to be a pseudo point, having a value of either ON or
OFF. Typically used as a trigger for custom control (i.e., perform some
action if the point turns ON).
• Decimal Display. This field specifies the degree of precision for the device reporting
data (how many digits after the decimal place the device reports). If the device reports
data one unit at a time, choose the XXXX. option. If the device reports data in 10ths of
a unit, choose the XXXX.X option. If the device reports data in 100ths of a unit,
choose the XXXX.XX option.
