' This example shows how to set the metric data in the push data provision model. In this model, your code pushes the
' data into the edge node or device, and the edge node or device then makes the data available over Sparkplug.
'
' You can use any Sparkplug application, including our SparkplugCmd utility and the SparkplugApplicationConsoleDemo
' program, to subscribe to the edge node data.
