open in order for you to access this property. When the
AppDevice object's GetMessagePoint method is called, the
DataPoint object that is created can set this property to send
a request message to the device monitored by this
MsgMonitorPoint object.
The AutoWrite property of this DataPoint object is set to
False; therefore, you need to explicitly propagate the message
to the network after the DataPoint object's Value, RawValue ,
or FormattedValue property is set. You can do this in two
ways:
• Call the DataPoint object's Write method to receive a
response via the OnMsgMonitorPointUpdateEvent event
(i.e. asynchronous response).
• Call the MsgMonitorPoint object's SendMsgWait method
with this DataPoint as the object to receive a response as
the return of the SendMsgWait method (i.e. synchronus
response).
You can use the OutputDataPoint property to send a message
that does not require a response.
Availability Local, full, lightweight, and independent clients. Note that
temporary MonitorSet objects and temporary monitor points
are not available on Independent clients.
