Using the FieldPoint Lookout Driver
The FieldPoint Lookout driver uses the configuration information in the
IAK file created by the FieldPoint Explorer for its own configuration.
The tag names used with the FieldPoint Lookout driver are the same as
the names assigned using FieldPoint Explorer. There is a separate disk
in your kit that contains the FieldPoint Lookout driver. This disk also
contains documentation for this driver in the
lkreadme.wri file.
Using FieldPoint with Optomux Servers
The protocol used by FieldPoint is compatible with the Optomux
protocol, and you may use Optomux servers to communicate with the
FieldPoint system. However, Optomux servers do not include
provisions for setting all the configurable parameters of a FieldPoint
system (such as input ranges and power up settings). Thus, you should
use FieldPoint Explorer to set up (and optionally store using SnapShot)
the configuration of the FieldPoint hardware before using an Optomux
server.
Refer to the FieldPoint FP-1000 and FP-1001 Programmer Reference
Manual for a description of which Optomux commands are supported,
and how to scale the data returned when using this protocol.
