When a new project is created, the factory default settings are used to create
all of the objects. Any number of buildings, floors, and devices can be created
for a project. The settings can also be modified, depending on the values re-
quired to meet local codes and regulations.
Using PipeIQ, the site can be configured to install the pipe network for the
FAAST system. Before installing the pipe network, the environment must
be created where the pipe network is to be installed by configuring some
general parameters, such as facility name, location and so on. After config-
uration is complete, the information is sent to the FAAST detector via the
Ethernet connection. Default settings can be used for installer and application
requirements.
