<data> element

Device Kit Attributes Elements XML Reference
The data tag specifies a data within a message. By using the data tag, the value of the data can be extracted from the message received from the hardware device. The data tag is also used to define how to stored a data into a message to be sent to the hardware device. This value in the message can be translated into/from the application value by using the translate tags. Valid sub tags of data include those that specify where to place the data within the message and a series of transforms that manipulate the data''s data. You can set the units of the data with the units tag.

NameTypeDescriptionUse
Element <data> attributes
idIDSpecifies an unique identifier for this element. After defining an element with the id attribute, other elements can reference this element by using the idref attribute. Since the id attribute value is used by the code generator to generate field and method names, no spaces, periods or commas should be used.optional
implementationNameSpecifies the implementation class name.optional
idrefIDREFSpecifies a reference to the element with the matching id attribute. The matching id attribute must be specified before the idref attribute can be used.optional
type "bit" "boolean" "boolean[]" "byte" "byte[]" "bytes" "double" "double[]" "float" "float[]" "int" "int[]" "long" "long[]" "short" "string" "ubyte" "ubytes" "uint" "ulong" "ushort" "Array" "List" "Map" "Number" "FloatingPoint" Specifies the data type.optional
nameNameSpecifies a name for this element. Normally, if the name attribute is not specified, then the id attribute is used for the name of the element. Since the name attribute value is used by the code generator to generate field and method names, no spaces, periods or commas should be used.optional
