Returns a data type of a Storage Field in Storage's format. This property is for reading and writing, but only accepts changes while data collecting for this Storage Field have not started yet. Possible values for this property are the following:
•0: Double (default)
•1: Bit
•2: Text
•3: Integer
NOTE |
Data types Bit, Text, and Integer are not submitted to Storage's compression algorithm. Therefore, whenever a variation in Storage Field's value or quality happens, its value is stored on the database. The DeadBand, DeadBandUnit, MaxRecTime, and MinRecTime properties have no effect on these data types because they are exclusive to the compression algorithm. |
