View and manage PI point classes and attributes

Use the PI Point Classes tool to view PI attributes sets and PI point classes.

• PI attribute sets

  Collections of PI point attributes that are named. One or more attribute sets are used to define point classes. Users apply lists of attributes and attribute sets to create or modify a point within a given PI Point Class.

• PI point classes

  A collection of one or more attribute sets. Examples of point classes include Base, Classic, Alarm, and Totalizer. All point classes include the attributes from the Base attribute set. Other point classes add attributes needed to provide functionality for certain processes. The PtClassName attribute specifies the point class for every point.

For more information, including details on specific point classes, see the PI Server topics under Point classes and attributes.
