Property node

Data represented by the node type property have a relationship to any other data having the same iostruct parent in that they are all sampled in an “atomic” operation, i.e. the set of data points have the same timestamp representing the sample time.

Nodes of the type property must have the following mandatory metadata:

  • Name
  • Type
  • Datatype
  • Description

For more information, see the Common Rule Set: Mandatory Metadata.

Besides the mandatory metadata mentioned above, the following optional metadata may be used

  • Unit
  • Min
  • Max
  • Allowed
  • Comment

For more information, please see the Common Rule Set: Optional Metadata.

This node type must have a node of type iostruct as parent, and must not have any children.

An example of the specification of a property node is given below.

  datatype: uint8
  type: property
