The Fix32 object is by far the easiest to use, but it is expensive in terms of performance. Every time you execute a line of code that uses the Fix32 object to retrieve or set values, the WorkSpace will:
- Instantiate a new data item.
- Validate the item.
- Read/write a value.
- Destroy the object.
This will be especially slow if the process is attempting to access a tag that is remote to the local node.
Example
The following code example demonstrates using the Fix32 object to access thisnode:tag.f_cv:
'Writes
Fix32.thisnode.tag.f_cv = 1.0 ' Write a 1 to thisnode:tag.f_cv
'Reads
Dim X as Single
x = Fix32.thisnode.tag.f_cv 'Read the value to thisnode:tag.f_cv and assign it to single precision variable x
