TOP Server BACnet Clearing an Overwrite on a Priority 8 (Manual) data point

I am working with a BACnet device and have Priority 8 (manual) control over a point - I have overwritten the value successfully, but cannot remove the overwritten value and go back to seeing the device generated values. How can I clear this overwrite?

The overwrite for a data point is very easy to clear by using the tags Relinquish attribute. Taking Analog Output 1 as an example:

To overwrite the value of Analog Output 1 we would need to write a value to a point with address 'AnalogOutput.1.PresentValue'. The moment that this tag is overwritten the tag with address "AnalogOutput.1.PresentValue RELINQUISH' will go high (1).

To clear the overwrite, we simply need to reset the value of 'AnalogOutput.1.PresentValue RELINQUISH' and write it back to a 0.
