InputFormatSpec
Summary
Contains the FormatSpec object used to determine the format
for incoming messages for this MsgMonitorPoint object.
The FormatSpec object contained within this property is not
passed by reference. If you modify the values assigned to the
properties of a local FormatSpec object, you must then
explicitly assign the modified FormatSpec object back to the
InputFormatSpec property of the MsgMonitorPoint for the
changes to take effect. This following code sample
demonstrates this procedure:
Set fsObject =
msgMonitorPointObject.InputFormatSpec
fsObject.AltFormatName = "SNVT_temp_f#SI"
Set msgMonitorPointObject.InputFormatSpec =
fsObject
