ReadItemValue Method (IEasyDAClientExtension)

Reads a named item from an OPC server. Only the item value is returned (quality and timestamp are not 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.

Use this method if you are only interested in the actual value of the OPC item. Use ReadItem method if you also need the quality or timestamp. The ReadItemValue method makes it very easy to obtain the actual data value with just one function call.

The ReadItemValue method waits until the quality becomes "good", or the timeout elapses.
