Part |

Variant |

Remarks
If you are manipulating a color threshold table within a script, the variable must be of the same type as the threshold table.
NOTE: If you are reading
an Input Value after a source change, you must allow time for the Input
Value to be updated. If iFIX has not had sufficient time to establish
the new connection, the first attempt to obtain the Event object's Input
Value will result in an Automation Error. The amount of time that iFIX
requires to establish the connection depends upon the scan time of the
Event object source tag. If you need the data immediately, read from an
already connected object.
Additionally, if you set a steady state tag (a tag with a static value)
as the source twice in a row, there will be no change in the Input Value
and you will get an Automation Error.
