Item Properties

On the Item Properties tab, you can use one or more channels to create custom data items.

This tab includes the following components:

• Name—You can use this control to give unique and descriptive names to items.
• Device Name—The name of the device that contains the item.
• Type—The data type of the selected channel.
• Advise Rate (ms)—The interval between updates to the network module.
• Channel Bit Mask (hex)—The channel bit mask identifies all channels used in the data item. You can copy the mask and use it to create an identical item on an identical device.
