control-NumericWritable

NumericWritable extends NumericPoint to include 16 levels of command priority control. The highest priority active command is reflected in the Out property. Commands at the Manual and manual levels (1 and 8) are stored persistently.

This point is available in the Points folder of the control palette and usually resides in a device’s Points folder.
