Create/Edit Global Reference: Select Trigger Options
This is one of a series of pages for creating or editing a global reference. Changes are not saved until you click Finish on the last page in the series.
Reference information is shown so you can verify the selections you have made in earlier steps.
The Polling Trigger option specifies how frequently the targets of a global reference can change.
Poll on Change of State – the targets change as soon as the trigger point changes. Choose this option if you need every change in the trigger applied to the targets, regardless of the frequency of changes.
Poll Every (1, 5, 10, 15, 30, 45, or 60) Minute(s) – the targets change to match the trigger point at each specified interval. Choose this option if you do not need every change in the trigger to be applied to the targets and are only concerned with keeping them updated periodically.
Set Load Offset to the number of minutes you would like to wait before making a change initiated by a global reference. If you have a large number of systems likely to power on or need resources at the same time, setting up load offsets at various intervals may reduce system loading.
Select an option for Override Priority appropriate for the importance of the global reference.
The Comm-loss Options specify what should happen in the event that communication with the trigger is lost.
Continue overrides with last known good value – the system behaves as if the global reference remains in the state of its last successful communication.
Do not send override - the system does not permit the global reference to override the targets.
Send comm-loss value - the value used by the global reference is user-defined. If you select this option, you must also select the value in the units of measure shown, if applicable.
