Data Type String.
Read/Write Read/write.
Added to API Depends on the object used to access the property. Generally,
this property exists for the objects listed above as soon as
they are added to the API.
OutputDataPoint
Summary Contains an OutputDataPoint object that can be used to send
a message to the device monitored by the MsgMonitorPoint
object, as long as the message does not require a response .
When the AppDevice object's GetMessagePoint method is
called, the DataPoint object that is created can read this
property to send a non-request message to that device.
The DataPoint contained in this property has its AutoWrite
property set to True by default; therefore, you do not need to
call the Write method after setting this DataPoint object's
Value property. The monitor set containing the
MsgMonitorPoint must be open in order for you to access this
data point
Use the RequestDataPoint property to send a message that
requires a response.
Availability Local, full, lightweight, and independent clients. Note that
temporary MonitorSet objects and temporary monitor points
are not available on Independent clients.
Syntax dpObject = msgMpObject. OutputDataPoint
Element Description
dpObject The DataPoint object to be returned.
msgMpObject The MsgMonitorPoint object to be acted
on.
Data Type DataPoint object.
Read/Write Read only.
Added to API LNS Release 3.0.
OutputFromatSpec
Summary Contains the FormatSpec object used to determine the format
for outgoing messages for this MsgMonitorPoint object .
The FormatSpec object contained within this property is not
passed by reference. If you modify the values assigned to the
properties of a local FormatSpec object, you must then
explicitly assign the modified FormatSpec object back to the
OutputFormatSpec property of the MsgMonitorPoint for the
changes to take effect. This following code sample
demonstrates this procedure:
Set fsObject =
