include the data point’s <UCPTname> and <UCPTlastUpdate> properties and the position on the
SmartServer. You can also use the <UCPTvalueFormat> in an xSelect statement to specify that the
Read function return the data point values in raw hex or return the values of the fields within structured
data points individually.
Note: You cannot use the position () filter with in an xSelect statement that includes the
<UCPTlastUpdate> filter. If you write an xSelect statement with both of these filters, the position ()
filter is ignored.
The Read function will return a list of <Item> elements of a Dp_Data type for each data point
referenced by the input you supplied to the function. Each of these <Item> elements contains the
current values of a group of properties and attributes associated with the referenced data point. This
includes the value, status, and the current priority level of the data point.
