Item Qualities

When using External Item Data Validation, Apis Hive will mark the item quality with Prediktor-specific qualities when validation fails. In compliance with the OPC DA specification, vendor specific item qualities are supported inside the upper 8 bits of the 16-bit quality word.

Apis uses the following item qualities:
