automatically each time you write
to the data point’s Value ,

This ensures that the value
returned by the data point, through
any of the three value properties,
always represents the current value
of the source object.
• False. You must call the Write
method manually to ensure the
values in all three properties
remain consistent.
This property defaults to True. The only
exception is when the DataPoint object
