Ndio point types

As seen in the ndio palette (Figure 10), there are 7 different Ndio point types.

These 7 different Ndio point types derive from the following 4 control point types:

BooleanPoint

For boolean “universal input” type NdioBooleanPoint (BooleanInputPoint).
NumericPoint

For numeric “universal input” types NdioCounterPoint, NdioResistivePoint, NdioThermistorPoint, and NdioVoltagePoint. (CounterInputPoint, ResistiveInputPoint, ThermistorInputPoint, VoltageInputPoint)
BooleanWritable

For for boolean output type NdioBooleanWritable (BooleanOutputWritable).
NumericWritable

For numeric output type NdioVoltageOutput (VoltageOutputWritable).

Each Ndio point type is typically unique by one or more properties in its proxy extension. Also, the proxy extension in each type contains the same (common) properties. Things unique to each Ndio point type are explained in following sections, as well as common properties in each point’s proxy extension.
