Examples - Server OPC UA - Read-write register with initial attribute data

.NET

// This example shows how to create a read-write data variable that behaves like a register, specifying initial attribute
// data (including the status code and source timestamp).
// You can use any OPC UA client, including our Connectivity Explorer and OpcCmd utility, to connect to the server.
