Property Value
Valid values are: CYCLIC, DELTA, FULL, INTERPOLATED, BESTFIT, AVERAGE, MINIMUM, MAXIMUM, INTEGRAL, SLOPE, COUNTER, VALUESTATE, and ROUNDTRIP. FULL = All stored values are returned; CYCLIC = All stored data for tags during the specified time interval are returned for the number of retrieval cycles or resolution specified; DELTA = Only values that changed during the specified time interval are returned. For all other modes, a calculation is performed by the system on the data and the value(s) are returned.
The default is CYCLIC for retrieval from analog tables, DELTA for retrieval from discrete and string tables, and default is DELTA for retrieval from the History table, unless the specific retrieval mode implies otherwise. For example, SLOPE always has DELTA characteristics.
