default.

If this check box is selected, the same data point will be monitored
in a new Data Point SmartShape.

If this check box is cleared, OpenLNS CT will attempt to locate the
appropriate data point using the relative
subsystem\device\functional block path of the source. In addition,
you can create a Data Point SmartShape that you can copy to a
different subsystem and have it refer to a data point in that
subsystem.

Enable Value
Updates

Allows you to enter a new value for the selected data point, which
will then be updated in the OpenLNS network database. This
check box is cleared by default.

If the selected data point is an input network variable, a
device-specific configuration property, or a functional block state,
the device will be updated in addition to the OpenLNS network
database. If the selected data point is a non–device-specific
configuration property, only the OpenLNS network database will
be updated. This option is unavailable for output network
variables.

If this check box is cleared, you can double-click the Data Point
SmartShape to update it with the current value of the selected data
point.

This check box is selected by default for device-specific
configuration properties, and it is cleared for non–device-specific
configuration properties.

SmartShape (a master SmartShape or a copy), that label will be
selected by default in this list.

If the selected data point is a network variable, the following
options are available:
