3-2.3 Setup of Virtual Points in iSEA
Virtual points provides the ability to derive a single value from a set of available real point values by
performing additions and subtractions as required. For example, multiple power meter values may
be added together to derive the total power usage value.
In order to ensure compatibility with different devices, a multiplication factor can be set to convert
between units, such as Watts to Kilowatts.
Virtual points are created by accessing the Virtual Points configuration interface within iSEA.

1. In the Configure iComm Server section, enter the connection details for the iComm that
contains the points you wish to create Virtual Points from. You must enter an iComm
Address in order to use virtual points. The location of iComm may be configured as a DNS or
IP Address. If necessary add the Username and Password of the iComm Server.
If a virtual point is created as an accumulated point, you can still log it as a reporting point in Chronicle but it is
advisable to disable accumulating for this point to ease the CPU load.
