Getting Started

The getting started lessons provide sample code for most common use cases.

The following lists give an overview on the learning targets covered by each lesson.

Lesson 1: Connect and Read

Lesson 2: Create DataMonitoredItem

Lesson 3: Browse, Read Configuration, and Write Values

  • Browse for nodes in the address space using UaSession::browse()
  • Receive browse results in multiple portions using UaSession::browseNext()
  • add a configuration object that provides connection parameters and NodeIds instead of using hard-coded configuration values
  • read namespace table after connect to set up namespaceindex for nodeIds from configuration object
  • write the value attribute of variables using UaSession::write()
  • enhance read method to use NodeIds from configuration object

Lesson 4: Discovery and Secure Connection

Lesson 5: Register Nodes and Reconnection Scenarios

  • call registerNodes to get optimised NodeIds and write values using the optimised NodeIds
  • read the list of items to monitor from configuration instead of using hard coded NodeIds
  • enhance subscription to automatically handle reconnection scenarios
  • show how to automatically update the registered NodeIds when a new session was created

Lesson 6: Create EventMonitoredItem

  • create a subscription with an event monitored item
  • receive event notifications via UaSubscriptionCallback::newEvents()
  • set an event filter for an event monitored item
  • call methods to trigger events on demoserver
