DISCLAIMER
This example shows how an object can be converted from one type to another through a mimic script in ClearSCADA. In this particular example an analog point named "Analog Point" and located in a group named "Analog Point Group" is converted into an Internal Analog Point by changing its class to CPointAlgManual. Please review ClearSCADA Database Schema for a list of all classes in ClearSCADA.

Sub ConvertPointType

'Connect to ClearSCADA Server by providing the name of the ClearSCADA system and user logon information.
oServer.Connect "SystemName", "UserName", "UserPassword"
'Locate the object to be converted.

End Sub An object can only be converted to another object of a similar type. For example, an OPC Analog point can be convertedinto an Internal Analog Point. However, an OPC Analog Point cannot be converted into an OPC Digital Point. |
