ReadItem Method (IEasyDAClientExtension)



OpcLabs.EasyOpcClassicCore Assembly > OpcLabs.EasyOpc.DataAccess Namespace > IEasyDAClientExtension Class : ReadItem Method
Reads a named item from an OPC server. Value, quality and timestamp are returned.

The server can be local or can be remotely accessed via DCOM. Optionally, an access path can be specified or a specific data type can be requested.

The ReadItem method only waits for the first update from the server (or until the timeout elapses); it does not wait until the quality becomes "uncertain" or "good".
