Configuring DDE/SuiteLink Device Items

DDE and SuiteLink data sources allow you to add items through topic objects that model the behavior of DDE and SuiteLink servers.

Since items are added to topics in DDE and SuiteLink servers, topic objects are required in the DDE/SuiteLink hierarchy if you want to add items.

To add device items to your topic, select the new topic object and click the Device Items tab. For more information, see Device Item Definitions.
