Syntax

PointGetMultiple point1[,point2[,point3…]]

Description

Request data from up to 30 points in a single snapshot request.

If the function fails, an error is generated.

Comments

If you need to get data from several points, use this function rather than issuing a single PointGet command for each point. For the example below, it is six times more efficient to use PointGetMultiple, since the data is retrieved from the Point Manager in a single request, rather than six separate PointGet requests.

Parameter

Description

pointn

String. Point objects for which data is going to be requested. Up to 30 may be specified as function parameters.

Example

sub main()

   Dim x As New Point: x.Id ="R1"

   Dim x1 As New Point: x1.Id ="R2"

   Dim x2 As New Point: x2.Id ="R3"

   Dim x3 As New Point: x3.Id ="R4"

   Dim x4 As New Point: x4.Id ="R5"

   Dim x5 As New Point: x5.Id ="R6"

   PointGetMultiple x,x1,x2,x3,x4,x5

End Sub
