Property Name

Description

Priority

This property determines whether or not priority

messaging will be used when sending network variable

updates during the current monitoring session. If

True

,

priority messaging will be used.

Setting this property through the NvOptions property of

a permanent monitor set, or through the
DefaultOptions property of a permanent network

variable monitor point, does not have an effect. The

default priority setting for each permanent network

variable monitor point is established by the
UsePriorityFlag property of the
ConnectDescTemplate specified when the network

variable monitor point was created.

You cannot set this property through the
DefaultOptions property of a temporary network

variable monitor point, as the DefaultOptions

properties of all temporary monitor points are not

accessible. However, you can set this property through
the NvOptions property of a temporary monitor set to

determine the default priority setting that will be

applied to all network variable monitor points as they

are added to the set.

Remember that you can set this property through the
CurrentOptions property of a permanent or temporary

network variable monitor point to determine whether or

not priority messaging will be used when sending
network variable updates during the current monitoring

session.

Default Value: For permanent monitor sets, the default

value for this property is False. The default value for

temporary monitor sets is set to match the value of the
DsPriority property.

ReportByException

This property determines if network variable update

events for this set will only be reported when the value of
a network variable changes. If

True

, LNS will only

report update events to your application when the value

of a network variable changes. For example, if the value
of a network variable is polled three times and the value

does not change until the third poll, only the third poll

will be reported to your application via an update event.

Network variable update events are described in more

detail later in this chapter.

Default Value: For permanent monitor sets, the default

value for this property is True. The default value for

temporary monitor sets is set to match the value of the
DsReportByException property.
