addresses of all connected sensors will
display in the list box on the left.

A new sensor will be created in Device
Manager after you execute a
Find
Sensors
command.
A new machine with that sensor’s new
Long Tag will be created in Analyst. The
machine with the original Long Tag will be
disabled.
All measurements from the relocated
sensor will now go t
o the POINTs in the
new machine in Analyst.
This process can be reversed. If the sensor’s Long Tag is changed back to the original
Long Tag with the utility, and then a
Find Sensors
command is executed, the original
machine will be re-enabled while the new machine is disabled. All measurements from
the sensor will again be saved in the
POINTs
of the previous machine.
