WaitForMultipleItemValues(IEasyDAClient,IReadOnlyList<DAItemGroupArguments>,DAQuality) Method



OpcLabs.EasyOpcClassicCore Assembly > OpcLabs.EasyOpc.DataAccess.Extensions Namespace > IEasyDAClientExtension2 Class > WaitForMultipleItemValues Method : WaitForMultipleItemValues(IEasyDAClient,IReadOnlyList<DAItemGroupArguments>,DAQuality) Method
The client object that will perform the operation.

This is typically the OpcLabs.EasyOpc.DataAccess.EasyDAClient object.

The value of this parameter cannot be null (Nothing in Visual Basic).

List of OPC-DA item group arguments (each argument holds an OPC server and item descriptor, and OPC group parameters).

The value of this parameter cannot be null (Nothing in Visual Basic).

The individual elements of the parameter value cannot be null (Nothing in Visual Basic).

The minimum quality of OPC-DA data to accept.

Because the OpcLabs.EasyOpc.DataAccess.DAQuality has an implicit conversion from System.Int32 and OpcLabs.EasyOpc.DataAccess.DAQualities, in languages that support implicit conversion operators (such as C# or VB.NET), you can simply use an integer (representing the internal value of the quality), or an element of the OpcLabs.EasyOpc.DataAccess.DAQualities enumeration in place of this parameter, and the corresponding OPC DA quality object will be constructed automatically. When the implicit conversion operators are not supported (such as with Python.NET), you can use the DAQuality Constructor(Int32) or DAQuality Constructor(DAQualities) constructor instead.

The value of this parameter cannot be null (Nothing in Visual Basic).

Waits until the OPC-DA items reach the given minimum quality. Specify arguments objects, and the minimum quality.

Parameters

client
The client object that will perform the operation.

This is typically the OpcLabs.EasyOpc.DataAccess.EasyDAClient object.

The value of this parameter cannot be null (Nothing in Visual Basic).

itemGroupArgumentsList
List of OPC-DA item group arguments (each argument holds an OPC server and item descriptor, and OPC group parameters).

The value of this parameter cannot be null (Nothing in Visual Basic).

The individual elements of the parameter value cannot be null (Nothing in Visual Basic).

minimumQuality
The minimum quality of OPC-DA data to accept.

Because the OpcLabs.EasyOpc.DataAccess.DAQuality has an implicit conversion from System.Int32 and OpcLabs.EasyOpc.DataAccess.DAQualities, in languages that support implicit conversion operators (such as C# or VB.NET), you can simply use an integer (representing the internal value of the quality), or an element of the OpcLabs.EasyOpc.DataAccess.DAQualities enumeration in place of this parameter, and the corresponding OPC DA quality object will be constructed automatically. When the implicit conversion operators are not supported (such as with Python.NET), you can use the DAQuality Constructor(Int32) or DAQuality Constructor(DAQualities) constructor instead.

The value of this parameter cannot be null (Nothing in Visual Basic).

Return Value

The function returns an array of OpcLabs.BaseLib.OperationModel.ValueResult objects. The indices of elements in the output array are the same as those in the input list, itemGroupArgumentsList.

This method never returns null (Nothing in Visual Basic).

The individual elements of the returned value are never null (Nothing in Visual Basic).

Exceptions
ExceptionDescription

A null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic) is passed to a method that does not accept it as a valid argument.

This is a usage error, i.e. it will never occur (the exception will not be thrown) in a correctly written program. Your code should not catch this exception.

Remarks

This is an extension method (info: C#, VB.NET). In languages that have support for extensions methods (such as C# and VB.NET), you can use the extension method as if it were a regular method on the object that is its first parameter. In other languages (such as with Python.NET), you will call the extension as a static method, and pass it the object on which it acts as its first parameter.

Requirements

Target Platforms: .NET Framework: Windows 10 (selected versions), Windows 11 (selected versions), Windows Server 2016, Windows Server 2022; .NET: Linux, macOS, Microsoft Windows
