You can create an object that is governed by a system point by address on any CimEdit screen. These objects can provide you with system monitoring capabilities that augment the pre-configured System Sentry screens.

 Important: If you want to use alarms with your object, you have to create an object that uses a System Sentry device point.

The steps to configure a System Sentry point by address are:

Step 1	Insert or create an object (on an open CimEdit screen) that will be governed by the point by address at runtime
Step 2	Open the Point by Address dialog box.
Step 3	Fill in the Point by Address dialog box.
Step 4	Select the object–counter–instance whose value will display.
Step 5	(Optional) Change the scan rate.
Step 6	Test the configuration.

 Note: These steps configure a simple shape and text object as an example. However, CimEdit offers you an extensive selection of objects that can be inserted or created in a screen.
