Rem This example shows how to get a value of a single OPC property.
Rem
Rem Note that some properties may not have a useful value initially (e.g. until the item is activated in a group), which also the
Rem case with Timestamp property as implemented by the demo server. This behavior is server-dependent, and normal. You can run
Rem IEasyDAClient.ReadItemValue.Main.vbs shortly before this example, in order to obtain better property values. Your code may
Rem also subscribe to the item in order to assure that it remains active.
