If checked, this option will ensure that device system signals are included in the database build.

Enables RTU names with mixed upper and lower case characters to be defined (e.g. Memphis,

Area1) when adding devices and signals into the OpenEnterpriseObjectServer database. By default, all RTU names are converted to uppercase in the database (e.g. MEMPHIS, AREA1).

NW3000 Setup

If a build occurs for an RTU with mixed case characters without this option checked, the RTU name will be inserted into the database in upper case characters, and all its signals will be preceded and identified by the uppercase RTU name followed by a colon (e.g. MEMPHIS:PUMP1.RUNNING.001).

If a subsequent build for the same RTU occurs, but with this option checked, the NW3000 Database

Builder will ask for confirmation before inserting the device and its signals into the database.

This time, the mixed case name will be used. The previous entries for the same device and its signals with the capitalized name will NOT be deleted from the database. However, the NW3000 Database

Builder will only now recognize the capitalized name for the RTU.

When selected, ControlWave signal names will be converted to ACCOL signal name format (i.e.

<BASE>.<EXTENSION>.<ATTRIBUTE>).

When checked, the NW3000 Database Builder will use the 'Variable Extension Wizard' settings from the ControlWave load to determine alarm signals for ControlWave RTUs.

The default setting is for this and the 'Look for _ALM in name' option to be unchecked. This causes the NW3000 Database Builder to mark all signals as alarms.

When checked, the NW3000 Database Builder will look for signals with names that contain '_ALM' to determine alarm signals for ControlWave RTUs.

The default setting is for this and the 'Use variable extension wizard' option to be unchecked. This causes the NW3000 Database Builder to mark all signals as alarms.

3.8 System Set-up Summary

This is the final dialog displayed for the 'System Set-up' wizard. It enables the user to view the configuration parameters defined. Should anything require changing, the user is able to navigate back to the appropriate dialog to make the necessary changes prior to finalizing the system configuration.
