  • Page 56: Appendix

    9 Appendix 9.1 Item Code Types There are two basic item code types used in the CNI4 — Direct-read and Configuration. Direct-read items are mainly used to store information or to accumulate readings. Except during the initial installation, these items are normally just read periodically to obtain the accumulated information. However, if needed, these values may be changed by directly typing in new information from the keyboard.
