Configuring Analog Points

Geo SCADA Expert can retrieve various forms of diagnostic data from a Trio radio. For each item of diagnostics data that can be in one of a range of numeric values, you need to configure an Advanced Trio Diagnostics Analog Input Point or an Advanced Trio Diagnostics Analog Output Point in the Geo SCADA Expert Database.

(D Series radios only support a fixed number of hard-coded status messages, each of which are analog. As such, you use Advanced Trio Diagnostics Analog points to retrieve the diagnostics parameters from D Series radios.)

Configure the point’s properties using the fields on the Advanced Trio Diagnostics Analog Input Point Form or the Advanced Trio Diagnostics Analog Output Point Form.

The configuration Form contains many fields, organized into tabs. Most of these tabs contain properties that are common to points on many drivers (see Tabs on Point Forms in the Geo SCADA Expert Guide to Advanced Drivers).

The Analog Point tab includes properties that are specific to the Advanced Trio Diagnostics driver. Use the tab to:

• Configure the Advanced Trio Diagnostic Properties that are Specific to Analog Points
• Configure the required Persistence (see Use Persistence to Stop Fleeting Changes in Value from Changing a Point State).

The other properties on the Analog Point tab are common to analog points on many drivers (see Defining Analog Point Details in the Geo SCADA Expert Guide to Core Point Configuration).
