Using the SCADA Summary
The SCADA Summary provides the current values and qualities of all mapped SCADA measurements in Oracle Utilities Network Management System. Each row of this summary represents one measurement. There may be multiple unique measurements on one SCADA device. SCADA information includes digital and analog measurements, along with the quality codes and any user comments for each measurement. You can use the summary to view measurement information, manually replace current SCADA values, and inhibit updates.

Understanding the SCADA Summary Window
The SCADA Summary may be opened to view all SCADA measurements or for measurements related to a device or feeder selected in the Viewer. The SCADA Summary displays the following fields and buttons:
• The Feeder column contains the name of the feeder reporting the SCADA measurements.
• The Substation column contains the substation name.
• The Device column contains the name of the device reporting the SCADA measurements.
• The Value column contains the last reported measurement value. The value can be status, digital, or analog. For status measurements, the values are displayed as a test pair, such as open/close, on/off, and so on. Analog and digital values are shown as floating point and integer values.
• The Quality column contains the Quality codes for the measurement that indicates the quality of the SCADA measurement (for example, out of scan, inhibited, manual override). Several quality codes can be listed.
• The Point Name column displays the name of the SCADA measurement, as used in the SCADA system.
• The Attribute column contains a description of the measurement type, as configured in the ATTRIBUTES.description column in the Oracle Utilities Network Management System database for the matching attribute.
• Depending on your system's configuration, you may have the ability to enter comments when manually changing SCADA status (for example, Inhibit, Manual Override, or Disabled in Power Flow). See “Adding and Modifying Comments for SCADA Status Changes” for more information.
If this feature is configured, you will see the following columns:
• The Comments column contains the text of a comment entered when changing device status.
• The User column displays the name of the user who entered/modified comments when changing the device status.
• The Date column displays the date and time when the comment was entered or modified.
