HyperPoint Properties

This page contains the script used by the point. The HyperPoint page is shown when the HyperPoint check box (included on the General page) is set to 1 (Yes).

The Activate Script flag must be set to 1 (Yes) for scripting on the point to be active. In addition, the current value service of the point must be a service for which scripting is enabled.

Note: You cannot import script into a point. The field is read-only. However, you can use the CygNet Point Script Copy utility (PointCfgScriptCopy.exe) to load script into a point. See CygNet Point Script Copy Utility for more information.

HyperPoint Properties

These are the properties shown on the HyperPoint page in the PNT Editor. See HyperPoint Scripting for more information.

See Token Categories - Point: HyperPoint for the corresponding tokens for each property and Filter Attributes - Point: HyperPoint for the corresponding filter attributes for each property.

Property	Description	Default Value
HyperPoint type	Specifies the type of HyperPoint. Possible values are as follows. Standard HyperPoint (S) — A Standard HyperPoint is a self-contained HSS point, that does not call or include any other script. Library HyperPoint (L) — A Library HyperPoint is an HSS point that contains script designed to be used by other HyperPoints, called Library User HyperPoints. It can be called from multiple other HyperPoints, which access a temporary copy of its script. This means that any changes made to a Library HyperPoint script will apply to all its users. Library HyperPoints are not recommended for script processing. Library User HyperPoint (U) — A HyperPoint that uses a Library HyperPoint is called a Library User HyperPoint. Multiple instances of Library User HyperPoints can use the same Library HyperPoint. Library User HyperPoints are recommended for script processing.	Standard HyperPoint
Script text	Displays the script currently contained in the HyperPoint. Click View to access a syntax-highlighted view of the script in View (or read-only) mode.
Simulation test	Contains the simulation controls you can use to test a HyperPoint’s script before putting it to use.
