Setpoint List
The center of the window displays the scrollable list of setpoint panels.

Setpoint Enumeration Panel


A setpoint numeric panel contains a label with the setpoint description and a pull-down list showing the active value and the other selections. The Default button returns the setpoint to the product's factory setting. The text field is updated when the change is complete.

Setpoint Numeric Panel


A setpoint numeric panel contains a label with the setpoint description, a Default button, a text field with a unit label, and a slider.

The Default button changes the setpoint to the product's factory setting. The text field and slider are updated when the change is complete. You can change a setpoint with the text field or with the slider. When you click on the entry field, the change setpoint dialog displays to coordinate the setpoint change. If you click on the slider, the entire panel changes to an enlarged slider with an OK and Cancel button. The setpoint changes with the slider and the OK button verifies the change and returns the panel to it's initial state. The Cancel button returns the panel to its initial state without changing the setpoint. Note: There is a short delay before the new value displays. TechView sends the new value to the main processor, the main processor validates the new value, and confirmation is returned to TechView. This process should only take a few seconds. You can change the display units for a setpoint by clicking on the unit label next to the entry field. Only units that have different English and SI values can be modified.

Change Setpoint
The change setpoint window allows you to enter a new value for the setpoint into a text field. When you press the OK button, the value is validated using the minimum and maximum values shown in the window and the setpoint is changed. If the entered value is outside the given range, an error message displays as shown.

Configuration View allows you to define the chiller's components, ratings, and configuration settings. These are all values that determine the required installed devices, and how the chiller application is run in the main processor. For example, a user may set an option to be installed with Configuration View, which will require devices to be bound using Binding View. And when the main processor runs the chiller application, the appropriate steps are taken to monitor required inputs and control necessary outputs. Any changes made in the Configuration View, on any of the tabs, will modify the chiller configuration when you click on the Load Configuration button (located at the base of the window). The Load Configuration button uploads the new configuration settings into the main processor. Note: Selecting the Undo All button will undo any configuration setting changes made during the present TechView connection and since the last time the Load Configuration button was selected.
