Jace CompatibilityUnlock true flexibility with Scout's extensive compatibility! No matter who your preferred vendor is, you can easily find and edit points across a wide range of brands. Say hello to seamless integration—giving you the freedom to work with the systems you trust while enhancing efficiency and control.
Scout is an intuitive Niagara search tool used to easily find and modify BACnet points on a network. Scout can export searched points to a text file (with values); set, override, and release override; add a history graphical view; access property sheet; search by point name, point display name, or tag; and multi-edit (mass set, mass override and/or mass release). Scout will simplify your daily navigation, process, and workflow.
Scout is a powerful tool for streamlining balancing and commissioning with features like system-wide Max Cooling and Max Air Flow settings, which automatically prepare all VAV devices in an area or building at once. This can also be used for regular system testing to ensure the building is working properly.
Here’s an example of how to use Scout for system-wide testing:
- Open Scout and go to the table view.
- Search for VAV devices and add relevant points (such as setpoint, damper position, and supply air temperature).
- Subscribe to these points for monitoring.
- Select all and use mass-override to modify as many devices as you would like to test at one time
- Use the sort and filter options to bring any problematic devices to the top of the list, making it easy to identify devices that are not heating or cooling properly or have dampers that are not fully opening or closing as expected.
This process simplifies identifying and troubleshooting issues across the system. Watch our demo video for additional useful tips!

In order to use Scout, drag the Azimuth folder from the palette into the Services folder. The path needs to be Services\Azimuth\Scout in order to work. Double click the Scout component to open the Scout view.
Question: How does the product work?
Answer: With Scout, you can find any BACnet point on your network, just type in the point name, display name, or tag, and Scout will give you the results in a custom list. Items on this list are selectable individually with standard selection options.
Question: Can I change more than one point at a time?
Answer: YES! Standard selections are available including Shift+click for a group select or Ctrl+click to add or remove selections one by one.
Question: How does export and multi-point edit work?
Answer: Once selections are made, you can use the tool to export the current point list in your search to a text file, including values, in order to save time on reporting. Additionally, you can make mass changes to all the selected points by entering the desired value at the top and then pressing Set or Override; Set and Override work the same as they do in your Niagara Front-end. Pressing Auto will remove the override, placing the points back to the set value.
