Display the OPC Data Type for a Property

You can view the OPC data type for any property in the database by performing the following steps:

1. Display the OPC Data Bar (see Display an Explorer Bar in ViewX in the ClearSCADA Guide to ViewX and WebX Clients).
2. Expand the Root branch in the tree structure.
3. Continue to expand the branches until you have located the required property for the relevant database item.
4. Right-click on the database item property to display a context-sensitive menu.
5. Select the Display Value option to access the Value window.

   

6. Examine the Data Type entry. This shows the OPC data type name for the value.

A table that shows the OPC data type names and their corresponding Logic and ClearSCADA data type names is included in Data Types for Logic, OPC, and ClearSCADA.
