Detailed Description

The base object type that is inherited by all Types (eg. Struct type, Simple type, Property object class) in openDAQ.

Types are used for the construction of objects that are require validation/have pre-defined fields such as Structs and Property objects. Types should be inserted into the Type manager to be used by different parts of the SDK.
