Two Setpoint Managers???

Hey all,

I am trying to get my simulation running and have been working through the errors. The error I am getting now is that I need to establish a setpoint at the humifier outlet node. This is the error.

* Severe * Humidifiers: Missing humidity setpoint for Humidifier:Steam:Electric = ELECTRIC HUMIDIFIER * ~~~ * use a Setpoint Manager with Control Variable = "MinimumHumidityRatio" to establish a setpoint at the humidifier outlet node.

So I understand I need to put a setpoint manager in but where can I place one in this model. I already have a setpoint manager for the temperature of the air leaving the entire unit. This air loop cna be seen below.

Edit: It should be noted that I cannot apply a setpoint manager humidity minimum because when I look in library the drop down menu is there but when I click it nothing shows up.

Edit: I can use a setpoint manager scheduled and change the control variable to Miniumum Humidity Ratio. Would the schedule then just be a fractional schedule?
