Introduction

Measuring Points may be combined in Lists with other DataObjects. There are two types of MPs: analog and binary.
The _MP .dbf tables in Vision NT are different to that in AvET, they deviate in Event-Registration :
The Status definitions assigned to a MP are edited in a separate window below the DataObject List.

Properties

List name: DataObjektList
File extension: .obj.xml
Objects: ana.MP - bin.MP
