Configure the Initialization Properties of a Counter Point
Use these fields within the Initialize section of the Counter Point tab to define the initialization properties for a counter point:
Use this check box to specify whether operators can initialize the counter.
Select the check box to allow operators to reset the counter value using the Initialize pick action. The initialize value is specified in the window that is displayed when the pick action is selected.
Clear the Enabled check box to disable manual initialization. Operators will be unable to use the Initialize pick action for this counter point.
Use this combo box to specify whether confirmation is required from the user when initializing the counter (see Requesting Confirmation of Action Requests).
If you select the Update Point on Successful Action check box, Geo SCADA Expert will update the value of the point in the Geo SCADA Expert database as soon as the outstation responds successfully to an action.
If you clear the Update Point on Successful Action check box, Geo SCADA Expert will only update the point’s value during a subsequent poll of the outstation. So, when the Reset value is sent to the outstation, Geo SCADA Expert does not update the database after the outstation’s response - it leaves the existing value of the point in place. Geo SCADA Expert only updates the point’s value in the database following the next poll of the outstation.
