Parameters

metric

The Sparkplug metric that will perform the operation.

The value of this parameter cannot be null (Nothing in Visual Basic).

dataType

The Sparkplug data type of the metric.

initializeData

Specifies whether the metric data should be initialized to default values for the given dataType.

Return Value

This is an extension method (info: C#, VB.NET). In languages that have support for extensions methods (such as C# and VB.NET), you can use the extension method as if it were a regular method on the object that is its first parameter. In other languages (such as with Python.NET), you will call the extension as a static method, and pass it the object on which it acts as its first parameter.
