VecSize

VecSize is either dynamic, i.e. user can add/update/delete values to a Pin in any way (with the exception that there has to be at least one value per Pin), or it is fixed by a number of values a Pin always needs to have at the very least. On a fixed Pin, values always need to be a multiple of the provided value. The corresponding FSharp type is:

type VecSize =
  | Dynamic
  | Fixed of uint32

Number

Fields:

Name	Type	Description
Id	string	per-client unique identifier
Name	string	descriptive name
Direction	input or output	read or write to this pin
Tags	string array	metadata for grouping and search
Unit	string	unit of measure
VecSize	dynamic or fixed with int count	slice behavior
Precision	integer	number of post-comma positions
Min	integer	minimum allowed value
Max	integer	maximum allowed value
Labels	string array	labels for each slice
Values	array	actual number values

String

Behavior:

String Pin behavior is either one of the following values to indicate validation requirements to the front-end:

• Simple
• MultiLine
• FileName
• Directory
• Url
• IP

The corresponding FSharp discriminated union:

type StringBehavior =
  | Simple
  | MultiLine
  | FileName
  | Directory
  | Url
  | IP
