Parameters

client

The client object that will perform the operation.

machineName

Name of the machine. Determines the computer on which the OPC server is located. 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.

serverClass

Contains ProgID of the OPC server to read from.

itemId

Contains OPC item identifier.

Type Parameters

TValue

The type of item value.

Return Value

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".
