{
  "@IO.Driver.Type": {
    "id": "Input 1",
    "uuid": "bb074c1b-7dff-49ea-8fcf-dd53a7fa1368",
    ...
  }
}

Type Descriptor

The type designation of the I/O point (@IOPoint.Driver.Type) consists of three parts:

• @IO This part is fixed and always appears exaclty as shown.
• Driver This is the name of the driver that provides the I/O point.
• Type This is the actual type of the I/O point.

Object Members

id	A string value containing the ID of the I/O point. The ID is used to construct the I/O point’s primary key.
uuid	A string value containing the unique UUID of the I/O point.

Each individual type of I/O point can have additional properties. Most I/O points will have a property containing some sort of I/O address, for example, and possibly a data format. Many I/O point types will also contain a property allowing you to add them to an I/O batch.

Please refer to the documentation of the specific I/O point for details.
