NovaStar Data Model / Point Status
Point statuses define strings that will be displayed for point data values.
Overview
For NovaStar points that have the
point class status, up to 32 point statuses
can be defined.
Each point status must have a line - an integer from 1 to 32. This line defines which bit in the raw data is used for further calculation.
Each point status has two strings: an on state, and an off state. The on state is the string displayed when the data for the status line bit is 1, and the off state is the string displayed when the data for the status line bit is 0.
Each point status can have a name, for ease of identification. The name is not required or used outside of Administrator.
Each point status also has a field called use. This has four
potential values, explained in the table below.
Point Status use Field Values
| Name | Integer Value | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Disable | 0 | This bit is not currently used and will be disregarded. (?) |
| Enable | 1 | This bit is in use and should be checked. (?) |
| Fixed on | 2 | If this bit is 0, the data is invalid. |
| Fixed off | 3 | If this bit is 1, the data is invalid. |
