|Server|The PI Asset Framework server to connect to|

===Point Settings===

Points are given simply as their Asset Framework point name. You can copy these point names directly from the PI System Explorer by right-clicking on an asset attribute and choosing "Copy Path"

Example:
**Drives/Main Conveyor Drive.Voltage_Phase_A**

This will connect the ARDI point to the AF point with the same name. Note that if the driver configuration included a base of "Headquarters/Distribution Building", the full path would be translated into //Headquarters/Distribution Building/Drives/Main Conveyor Drive.Voltage_Phase_A//
