Detailed description
FCD files are XML files. The PathName must be a list of items, not including the XML root tag of the tags where the XML attribute ItemName is to be located. So to extract the FLASH memory size Pathname="device.memory" and ItemName="bytes".
If the ItemName is not found in the specified location then DefText will be returned instead.
Examples
Calling in a calculation
- Declare a variable 'result' of type STRING
- Add to a calculation icon:
result = ::FCD.GetItemValue("pathname", "itemname", "deftext")
