Create(String,String,Int32) Method



OpcLabs.EasyOpcClassic Assembly > OpcLabs.EasyOpc.AlarmsAndEvents.Reactive Namespace > AENotificationObservable Class > Create Method : Create(String,String,Int32) Method
Name of the machine. Determines the computer on which the OPC server is located. It may be an empty string, in which case the OPC server is assumed to exist on the local computer or at the computer specified for it by DCOM configuration.

The value represents a UNC or DNS computer name. Any string can be passed to this parameter (i.e. will not cause System.ArgumentException), but not all values make sense and will work when an operation using them is attempted. IPv6 addresses are normally enclosed between '[' and ']'.

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

Contains ProgID of the OPC server.

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

The requested notification rate. The notification rate is in milliseconds and tells the server how often to send event notifications. This is a minimum time - do not send event notifications any faster that this UNLESS the buffer size is reached. A value of 0 for notification rate means that the server should send event notifications as soon as it gets them. This parameter is used to improve communications efficiency between client and server. This parameter is a recommendation from the client, and the server is allowed to ignore the parameter.
Creates a new notification observable for OPC events given by the machine name, server class, and other parameters.

Parameters

machineName
Name of the machine. Determines the computer on which the OPC server is located. It may be an empty string, in which case the OPC server is assumed to exist on the local computer or at the computer specified for it by DCOM configuration.

The value represents a UNC or DNS computer name. Any string can be passed to this parameter (i.e. will not cause System.ArgumentException), but not all values make sense and will work when an operation using them is attempted. IPv6 addresses are normally enclosed between '[' and ']'.

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

serverClass
Contains ProgID of the OPC server.

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

notificationRate
The requested notification rate. The notification rate is in milliseconds and tells the server how often to send event notifications. This is a minimum time - do not send event notifications any faster that this UNLESS the buffer size is reached. A value of 0 for notification rate means that the server should send event notifications as soon as it gets them. This parameter is used to improve communications efficiency between client and server. This parameter is a recommendation from the client, and the server is allowed to ignore the parameter.

Return Value

Returns an observable for notifications about given OPC events.

This method never returns null (Nothing in Visual Basic).

Remarks
The AEReactive.DefaultClientSelector selector will be used for OPC Alarms&Events operations.
