Points can be selected in one of three ways: through the alarm, fault, or isolate list, using the
MENU keys, or with the ENTRY keypad. Refer to Chapter 5 for information on selecting a
point.
1. Press the <MORE INFO> key. When you do this, the alphanumeric display shows the
first attribute in the list. (The list is context-sensitive, meaning the list of attributes
displayed for a monitor point differs from the list of attributes displayed for an output
point, such as a relay.)
2. Press the <MORE INFO> key again. The next option in the list of attributes appears.
Continue to press the <MORE INFO> key (or use the <NEXT> and <PREVIOUS> keys)
until the option that you want to display is shown.
3. Press <ENTER> to see the detailed information for the attribute.
The following table summarizes the attributes available for display via the <MORE INFO>
key.
