Data Type Object.
Read/Write Read only.
Added to API Depends on the object used to access the property. Generally,
this property exists for an object as soon as the object is

Precision
Summary Determines the precision of the ConfigProperty object. This

the data type used by the configuration property is a double
float type, the property defaults to 15 and has a range of
0-17.
Availability Local, full, lightweight, and independent clients.

property in the device resource files.
If this property is set to 1, then the
configuration property always inherits
its type from the network variable to
which it applies. In this case, you may
need to program your application to
