Description

TipcSrvMonExtSetReal16 creates a field of type REAL16 in the RTclient’s MON_CLIENT_EXT_POLL_RESULT message to associate with one of the RTclient’s fields. If the field in the MON_CLIENT_EXT_POLL_RESULT message does not exist, it is created and updated with the value of data. If the field already exists in the MON_CLIENT_EXT_POLL_RESULT message, TipcSrvMonExtSetReal16 only updates it with the value of data.

Not all platforms fully support the REAL16 type. While some platforms can manipulate them as uninterpreted bytes, they can neither manipulate nor interpret them as numbers.
