Info
titleProduct Compatibility

This document relates to opCharts-3, opConfig-3 and opEvents-3. We are currently in the process updating this to reflect our next generation of products using NMIS9

A number of Opmantek products use a common node configuration infrastructure, which supports standard, product-specific and custom node attributes. This page describes both the core properties and outlines the product-specific ones.

...

For the new product generation, opEvents and opConfig use the same collection where NMIS 9 saves this data. The properties shown in italic are not directly interpreted by the applications and are completely optional.
