Object Names and Naming

Object names or Tag Names are character strings up to 32 characters in length. They are restricted to alphanumeric characters plus ‘-‘ (dash or hyphen) and ‘_’ (underline). The first character must be alphabetic. Object names are case sensitive, and may not be variables.

A PROIV Object must have a Tag Name in order to be manipulated using the Property Logic Commands. The name of the object must be unique in the function. In order to distinguish variable names from Tag Names, variable names should not contain a period, ‘.’.

If you do have variable names containing periods make certain that there is no Tag Name/property name combination that is the same as a variable name, as PROIV will always look for the variable name first.

Object names for s are automatically generated from the ’s sub-Tag Name combined with the radio group Tag Name. These sub-Tag Names do not have to be unique, as the kernel and the logic syntax will always tie the to its radio group.
