Data Collection / Point Type

A point type indicates the hardware characteristics of the station associated with the sensor. The sensor characteristics allow NovaStar to understand the types of calculations to convert raw sensor data to scaled engineering values.

Recognized Point Types

The following summarize recognized point types.

Defining a New Point Type

A NovaStar system is typically pre-configured with common point types to simplify adding points later. However, it may be necessary to define a new point type.
