InitArray (DestArray, 0)
First initialise 'DestArray'.
SourceArray [0] = 1
SourceArray [1] = 2
SourceArray [2] = 3
Then, initialise 'SourceArray' to {1, 2, 3}.
CopyArray (SourceArray, DestArray)
Finally, copy the content of the source array 'SourceArray' to the destination
array 'DestArray'.
The two arrays do not have to be the same size as each other, for example if
'DestArray' contains 20 elements, only elements [0], [1] and [2] are set to 1, 2
and 3 respectively, the remaining elements are unchanged i.e. O's. If
'DestArray' is smaller than 'SourceArray' i.e. it contains two elements then only
elements [0] and [1] are set to 1 and 2 respectively.
6-5-3 DisableGroup
Syntax
returnstate = DisableGroup(groupname)
Remarks
Typical Example
DisableGroup("<Default>")
All points belonging to the <Default> group is disabled thus preventing values
from being read\written.
6-5-4 DisablePoint
Syntax
returnstate = DisablePoint(pointname)
Remarks
Typical Example
DisablePoint(point1)
The point 'point1' is disabled thus preventing values to be read/written.
Note: 'CopyArray' accepts arrays of different type i.e. Boolean arrays can be copied
into Real arrays, the only restriction is that Text arrays cannot be copied into
numeric arrays and vice- versa.
Argument Type Description

'0' otherwise.
groupname text Name of the group containing the points to
disable.
Argument Type Description

'0' otherwise.
