If nonzero, indicates that the raising of the Changed event has been suspended. This value is incremented when SuspendChangedEvent is called and decremented when ResumeAndRaiseChangedEvent is called.

This function should only be called for the server device type Returns 0 if the server socket has not been created, otherwise, returns the actual number of clients connected.

Return the name that characterizes the instance of CogIODevice object.

Returns true when the device is enabled. This does not mean the device is closed. When the device is disabled, it will neither send nor receive data even though the device is open and the socket is connected.

This is the encoding type that will be used to convert a queued output string into a sequence of bytes. The default value is ASCII.

This property identifies the computer to which results will be sent and from which commands will be read. This string may be in the form of an IP address, that is, a 32-bit integer expressed as four 8-bit values separated by periods, such as “127.205.42.9”. When Open() is called, this string will be evaluated to determine if it is in the form of an IP address. If it is then it will be used as such. If not, then we assume that this string is a host name which must be resolved using DNS. There is no default value.

Returns true if the socket is connected. Should only call this property if the device type is client. Returns false if it is a server device type or the socket has not been created.

Socket must be valid and the data handler thread is valid.

Returns true if the device is a client type.

When this property is true, it outputs the failed job's results. This means, the I/O queue must contain the job's run status, which is added automatically before a Job starts to run.

This is the maximum number of outbound strings that can be queued by this device. The default value is 32.

Returns the complete set of state flags supported on this object. The flags may be indexed by name as shown in the following C# code snippet: if (changedObject.StateFlags["Color"] & eventArgs.StateFlags) { ... }

This timeout value is used for acknowledgement, sending and receiving data. For Acknowledgment: When AckEnabled is true, this is the maximum number of milliseconds that this device’s output processing thread will wait for an acknowledgement message. If this timeout is exceeded, the output processing thread will retransmit the message. This will be repeated up to AckNumRetries times. If the message is not acknowledged, the output processing thread generates an Error event. For other cases: It will throw a timeout error when it fails to successfully either send or the entire data.
