   Dim MyPoint as new Point    ' Declare the point object

   MyPoint.Id ="TANK_LEVEL"   ' Set the Id

   MyPoint.OnChange            ' Request the value on change

top :

   MyPoint. GetNext            ' Get the value

   Trace MyPoint.Value         ' trace it to the output window

   goto top                    ' repeat forever

end sub
