collapse all in page

Syntax

NodeList = browseNamespace(UaClient)
NodeList = browseNamespace(UaClient,Nodes)

Description

example

NodeList = browseNamespace(UaClient) opens the Browse Name Space dialog box for OPC UA client object UaClient. Using this browser, you can construct a list of nodes, and return an array of those nodes in NodeList. You can use NodeList to retrieve data for those items using read, readHistory, readProcessed, readAtTime, or readModified.

The name space is retrieved from the server incrementally. UaClient must be connected when you call this function.

example

NodeList = browseNamespace(UaClient,Nodes) allows you to specify an initial list of Nodes to be supplemented. If you cancel the browsing by pressing the Cancel button, then NodeList will be empty.

Examples

connect(UaClient);
NodeList1 = browseNamespace(UaClient)

This example shows how to add to a list of nodes from the OPC UA name space. The Browse Name Space dialog box opens with the nodes of NodeList1 already selected.

s = opcuaserverinfo('localhost');
UaClient = opcua(s);
connect(UaClient);
NodeList1 = browseNamespace(UaClient)

% Some time later
NodeList2 = browseNamespace(UaClient,NodeList1)
