the database with a value that has just
been read from the device. For more

(1) value.
If you read the value of the data point, and
the value does not exist in the OpenLNS
database, then the NS, #113
lcaErrNsCpValueNotFound exception is
thrown.
3 lcaDataSourceOptionsTypeDefaultValue
The data point value is set to the default
value of configuration properties using the
same type as the source configuration
property. The default value is generally
read from the functional profile template on
the device containing the configuration
property, or from the type definition for this
configuration property type. Data points
created with this option set are read-only.
Note that this value represents the "type
default", as defined in the resource files.
The default value of a given configuration
property may differ from the default value
of its type, since the default configuration
property values for a given template are
defined in the external interface file and
can be set from the current values in the
device.
Added to API LNS Release 3.20.
GetRawValuesEx
Summary Retrieves the raw values of a range of configuration property
elements as a raw byte array.
The configuration property values are returned as a Variant
containing a one-dimensional byte array (MFC type VT_UI1
| VT_ARRAY). The application is responsible for parsing the
byte array and "reformatting" the raw values.
