addVANTAGE Pro 6.4 Administrator Guide CHAPTER 4
Node Properties
The other difference between RTU and tag properties is the addition of the
Climate setting for an RTU immediately above the Attributes button (Figure 33).
You use this setting to select the type of climate applicable to the RTU’s location.
You can also click Detect by GPS to automatically select a climate setting based
on GPS coordinates.

See “Using the Climate Manager” on page 58 for information about climates.
Tag General Properties
Review the General tab for information about the tag, such as its class and
subclass, node ID, number of alarms and events, engineering unit used, time
zone of its server, and so forth.
Updating the addVANTAGE Pro Configuration
The tab also shows you the last time the software configuration database entries
were updated, which will usually be midnight of the current day, unless it’s set to
update at another time. However, if you don’t use automatic configuration—or if
you just want to update the configuration now—click the Update config now!
button. The system retrieves the current configuration from the server and
updates the local one. If any special conditions are reached, an event could be
issued (for example, if you specified an action based on an event such as the
engineering units being changed, the event would be registered.)
Viewing Node Attributes
The General tab has an Attributes button. Click it to display the dialog shown in
Figure 34.
Figure 34. The Attributes Dialog
This dialog shows technical information about the tag’s attributes. You close the
dialog by clicking the X in the upper right corner.
Tag DACQ Properties
As Figure 35 shows, use this tab to view information about the source and
connection status of the tag.
