Display Precision Specifies the display precision for an attribute with a real value (floating point).
Element Ref

Units or Enum Set

Specifies the units for an attribute that is a real value (floating point). If an attribute is one value from a set, this attribute sets the states text from the sets listed in the Alphabetical Set List.

Display Attribute

C

Specifies the attribute that represents the value of the GIO. The value of this attribute is used as the Present Value of the GIO. For example, for a GIO representing a temperature control strategy, you might choose the attribute representing room temperature to be the Display attribute. Then, the room temperature appears as the GIO Present Value.

W

Represents user-definable attributes that can be part of a GIO. Each attribute represents a potential entry in the Attribute Info attribute which in turn represents a physical or logical piece of data within an integrated device.

These attributes only appear on the Hardware tab of the Configure screen of the Insert Point Wizard - GIO.
