Detailed Description

template<typename InterfaceType>
class GenericDeviceInfoPtr< InterfaceType >

Contains standard information about an openDAQ device and device type. The Device Info object is a Property Object, allowing for custom String, Int, Bool, or Float-type properties to be added.

The getter methods represent a standardized set of Device properties according to the OPC UA: Devices standard. Any additional String, Int, Bool, or Float-type properties can be added, using the appropriate Property Object "add property" method. Any other types of properties are invalid. Although Integer-type properties are valid additions, Selection properties cannot be added to Device Info.

As the Device Info object adheres to the OPC UA: Devices standard, it behaves differently than standard Property Objects. No metadata except the Value Type and Default Value are published via OPC UA, and this only said Property metadata is visible to any clients.

All fields - default (e.g. platform, manufacturer...) and custom are represented as either:

String-type properties
Integer-type properties
Bool-type properties
Float type properties

As such, listing all properties via Property Object methods, will return both the names of the default and custom properties. All default properties are initialized to an empty string except for RevisionCounter and Position that are integer properties and are thus initialized to '0'. The names of the properties are written in camelCase - for example "systemUuid", "parentMacAddress", "manufacturerUri".

If the DeviceInfo object is obtained from a device, or when listing available devices, the object is frozen (immutable). As such, Property Object setter methods cannot be used and will fail when called.

◆ getAssetId()

daq::StringPtr getAssetId ( ) const

inline

Gets the asset ID of the device. Represents a user writable alphanumeric character sequence uniquely identifying a component.

Returns: The asset ID of the device.

The ID is provided by the integrator or user of the device. It contains typically an identifier in a branch, use case or user specific naming scheme. This could be for example a reference to an electric scheme. The ID must be a string representation of an Int32 number.
