Points, Variables and Expressions

CimEdit provides you with powerful options for monitoring the status of your processes.

They are:

Points

Report specific conditions in the system. Points are the result of detailed configuration, which is done in the Point Properties dialog box. As with other CIMPLICITY applications, when you are in CimEdit, you can find and use any point that is already in any broadcasting project on your network. In addition, you can create new points by opening the Point Properties dialog box through CimEdit.

Variables

Are a container for a piece of information. The information can represent a full or partial Point ID, or text string in an expression. They are completely contained in CimEdit. At any given moment, CimEdit evaluates them and acts on the result of its evaluation in the manner that you specify.

Expressions

Can include points and/or variables and constants.
