Target (Channel)

Description

Returns or sets a String value representing the target of the action being performed through the channel. The target can have many meanings depending on the siChannelAction type. For example, with the Drive type (siChannelActionDrive), the target is the parameter controlled by this channel, but for the Command type (siChannelActionCommand), the target is the name of the command to run.

C# Syntax

    // get accessor
    String rtn = Channel.Target;

    // set accessor
    Channel.Target = String;
