Input Source

Specifies the I/O reference from which the data is read for an attribute, when the Use Input Source option is selected. The new reference value configured for the attribute is used.

The quality of the attribute is set to Bad when an error such as invalid reference, invalid data type conversion, or a failure in reading I/O data for unknown reason, occur while the object reads data for an attribute from the I/O reference. Otherwise, the quality of the attribute is set to Good.

The object does not read the data from the I/O reference when:

• The Use Input Source option is not selected.

• The Input Source is entered or changed.
