DataArray

images/download/attachments/95402023/plugins_dataarray-icon.png
The DataArray plug-in enables a simpler way of controlling a complex structure of objects that are defined in the config.dp file (See DataObject for detailed information about defining object structures and using the config.dp file). The plug-in defines the size of the array (the number of its child objects) and manages the data flowing to the objects.

Note: This plug-in is located in: Plugins -> Container plug-ins -> Data

Information: DataPool plug-ins only work properly on a single channel on the same machine.

DataArray Properties

  • Field Name: Defines the name and size of the array.

  • Type: Defines the type of the array objects. The list of types is created from the types defined in the configuration files (.dp files).

Example

The Field Name Stocks[32] defines an array named Stocks that has 32 objects of the type Stock selected in the Type parameter.
