sendBinaryPointMessages

sendBinaryPointMessages — formats data in binary mode (C++ only).

Syntax

For C++:

ST_STATUS sendBinaryPointMessages(bool  enable);

Parameters

enable

TRUE enables binary mode, FALSE disables it.

Returns

    ST_OK if the command was successfully sent to the DataHub. Since the command is sent asynchronously, the actual success or failure of the command must be determined through the onSuccess or onError message handlers.

    ST_NO_TASK if no connection to the DataHub is established.

    ST_TOO_LARGE if the message string exceeds the message buffer size.

    ST_ERROR if the format contains an error or if the connection socket is unable to send the message.

Description

This method tells the CDataHubConnector instance to format data in binary mode, and also to request binary mode transmissions from the DataHub. Binary messages are more CPU efficient than ASCII messages.
