For each item of NTP data that you want ClearSCADA to monitor, you need to configure one point of the appropriate type in the ClearSCADA database. NTP Monitor Scanners support these NTP Monitor point types:
- Analog Point
- Digital Point
- String Point
- Time Point.
You configure each point that you require using the appropriate NTP Monitor Point Form (for example, the NTP Monitor Analog Point Form).
Each Form has several tabs.
Use the fields on the NTP Monitor tab to Configure the NTP Monitor Point Properties.
Use the fields on the <Point Type> tab (for example, the Digital Point tab) to configure the point states or limits, trend and format properties, and so on. The fields on the <Point Type> tab are common to points on many drivers—see the appropriate section in the ClearSCADA Guide to Core Point Configuration.
For information on the fields on other tabs, see Tabs on Point Forms in the ClearSCADA Guide to Simple Drivers.
