InputValue Property

Specifies the data which is to be transformed by the animation object.

Syntax

object.InputValue [= Variant]

Properties

The InputValue property syntax has these parts:

Part

Description

object

An object expression that evaluates to an object in the Applies To list.

Variant

The input value.

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.
