The Self-documenting String for a 
Network Variable can be up to 40 
characters wide. 
If specified for a Floating point or 
Integer SNVT then NV Updates 
with values lower than specified 
here will not be written to its 
relevant Data Array location. 
Server NVUI can be grouped with 
Client NV Update types and 
NMFETCHC. Server 
NVPO can be grouped with Client 
NV Poll types and NMFETCHC. 
If specified for a Floating point or 
Integer SNVT then NV Updates 
with values higher than specified

Required for Throttling Mode: This field specifies the 
minimum change needed for a Network Variable’s 
value to invoke an NV Update.
