ReadItem Method (IEasyDAClientExtension2)



OpcLabs.EasyOpcClassicCore Assembly > OpcLabs.EasyOpc.DataAccess.Extensions Namespace > IEasyDAClientExtension2 Class : ReadItem Method
Reads a typed named item from an OPC server. A typed 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".
