STANDARD table

 images\btn_mini.gif Notation 

Summary

This table contains all the general information for the analog, digital, table and counter objects. It contains all the common properties for these objects, such as scan interval, base class interval, data reduction method, driver ID and node number. This is one of the core tables in the ODBC interface and is meant to be joined with the CONF table, when an object of the above mentioned types is being dealt with. CONF and most of the other tables link to the OAN or the AREA and ENAME fields in this table. This is indicated with a images\link.gif in the child table. No insertion can be done in this table.
