How to set initial dataitem value in the stream #440

Closed neildes2 closed 4 months ago

neildes2 commented 5 months ago

How can i get a value loaded into a dataitem that never changes. Like a Constant. I tried initial value in the example below but it doesn't seem to be its intention.

Specification values are not reported in the stream.

           <DataItem id="Pcount" type="PART_COUNT" category="SAMPLE" units="COUNT">
              <InitialValue>125</InitialValue>  
            </DataItem>

I'll check to make sure it's working.

We need to decide on the behavior. When the device is unavailable it should be unavailable. When the device becomes available it will assume the initial value.
