Reading Nodes in the Generic Client

The client provides the ability to read 1...n nodes in a single call, while providing a number of options enabling you to finely-tune the Read.

Simply locate a node within the address-space browser and then right-click and choose Read from the context-menu. The following multi-step dialog will open:

Step 1 - Choose the Nodes to Read

Within this dialog you can use the node browsing navigator on the left to locate nodes and then simply drag-n-drop them into the selected nodes list available right-side. Click Next to proceed.

Step 2 - Intermediate Read & Results

Click on the Read button to invoke an immediate read request.

Click the Close button to close the dialog.

The nodes on the left contain a context-sensitive menu providing you with options to fine-tune the information to receive:
