Parameters

startTime

Type: SystemObject
An object representing the starting time for the event frames to be returned. The value may be an AFTime, DateTime, PITime, String, or numeric. A DateTime (or a DATE will be treated as UTC time if its Kind property is set to Unspecified. Because DATE values from COM or VB6 clients are marshalled as Unspecified, these client applications must convert to UTC prior to marshalling. An integer numeric represents the number of ticks (100-nanosecond intervals) since January 1, 0001. A floating point numeric represents the number of seconds since January 1, 1970 UTC. A String is interpreted as local time, unless it contains a time zone indicator such as a trailing "Z" or "GMT". Strings will be interpreted with the AFTime.Parse Overload methods so that relative formats with intervals ("*", "T+3h", etc.) are also supported. Relative time intervals are based on the object's QueryDate.

startIndex

Type: SystemInt32
The starting index (zero based) of the items to be returned.

maxCount

Type: SystemInt32
The maximum number of event frames to be returned.

searchMode

Type: OSIsoft.AF.EventFrameAFEventFrameSearchMode
Indicates the direction in time from the StartTime or EndTime to proceed when returning event frames.

nameFilter

Type: SystemString
The event frame name filter string used for finding objects.

The query string (or match pattern) can include regular characters and wildcard characters. Regular characters must match exactly the characters specified in the query string. Wildcard characters can be matched with arbitrary fragments of the query string. Wildcard characters can be escaped using the single backslash (\) character. Use a double backslash (\\) to match a single backslash. The syntax of the query string has the following rules:

• If or empty string, then everything will be matched.
• If no wildcards, then an exact match on the query string is performed.
• Wildcard * can be placed anywhere in the query string and matches zero or more characters.
• Wildcard ? can be placed anywhere in the query string and matches exactly one character.
• One character in a set of characters are matched by placing them within [ ]. For example, a[bc] would match 'ab' or 'ac', but it would not match 'ad' or 'abd'.
• One character in a set of characters are not matched by placing them within [! ]. For example, a[!bc] would match 'ad', but it would not match 'ab', 'ac', or 'abd'.
• A character in a range of characters from first to last are matched using the following syntax: [first - last]. For example, a[a-c] would match 'aa', 'ab', or 'ac', but it would not match 'ad' or 'abc'.

elemCategory

Type: OSIsoft.AFAFCategory
Specify that returned event frames must have this category. To not filter by element category, then specify for this parameter.

elemTemplate

Type: OSIsoft.AF.AssetAFElementTemplate
Specify that returned event frames must have this template or a template derived from this template. To not filter by element template, then specify for this parameter.

Return Value

AFSDK
