5.4 VariableTypes

For all VariableTypes specified in NamespaceIndex 0, the Attributes named in Table 6 shall be set as specified in Table 6.

Table 6 – Common VariableType Attributes
Attributes Value
ValueOptionally a server-specific default value can be provided.
ArrayDimensions

If the ValueRank does not identify an array of a specific dimension (i.e. ValueRank <= 0) the ArrayDimensions can either be set to null or the Attribute is missing. This behaviour is server-specific.

If the ValueRank specifies an array of a specific dimension (i.e. ValueRank > 0) then the ArrayDimensions Attribute shall be specified.
