value timestamp returns the timestamp for when the tag value was last
updated.
error indicates that an error occurred when executing the Read Tag (string)
VI, or that the value output returned by Read Tag(string) is not valid.
See value status for the specific error condition.
shutdown indicates that the BridgeVIEW Engine is shutting down. In this
case, Read Tag (string) no longer waits for Tags to be updated and returns
immediately with both timeout and shutdown TRUE. You can use
shutdown to exit any loop that uses the Read Tag (string) VI.
changed? is TRUE when the Read Tag (string) VI returns a new value
from the Real-Time Database. If changed? is FALSE, Read Tag (string)
probably timed out before the tag value was updated.
