Point.SetValue (property, write)

Syntax

Point.SetValue = a

Description

To set the point's value in a CIMPLICITY project. This operation combines the Value and Set operations into one command. The SetValue method uses Engineering Units Conversion and cannot be used to set elements of an array point.

Example

' Ramp tank level from 0 to 100 in steps of five, with a delay

' on 100ms between each set.

sub main()

   Dim MyPoint as new Point       'Declare the point object

   MyPoint.Id ="TANK_LEVEL"      'Set the Id

   for I = 0 to 100 step 5        'Loop in steps of 5

      MyPoint.SetValue = I        'Set and write value to CIMPLICITY

      Sleep 100                   'Sleep 100ms

   next I                         'Loop

end sub
