Getting a Data Point Value

You can get the value of any data point by double-clicking the Data Point SmartShape or right-clicking
the Data Point SmartShape and clicking Get Value on the shortcut menu. The Data Point SmartShape
value is updated with the current value of the data point. IzoT Commissioning Tool must be attached
to the network to use this option.

If monitoring on the Data Point SmartShape is disabled, the value displayed in the Data Point
SmartShape will be cleared in n seconds, where n is the value set in the ‘Get Value’ Display Duration
box in the Network Properties: NV Browser/Monitoring options category. By default, the value is
15 seconds. You can disable the clearing of the Data Point SmartShape by setting this value to 0. To
set this value in the OpenLNS drawing, click Add-ins, click IzoT Commissioning Tool, click IzoT
Commissioning Tool Options
, then select NV Browser/Monitoring from the Options Category list.
See NV Browser/Monitoring Options in Appendix A for more information on setting this value.
