Chapter 17: Dynamic Data Exchange LogicPro User’s Guide
260 Watlow Anafaze Doc.# 28002-00 Rev 3.00
• Topic name — is a string that identifies a logical data
context. For LogicPro, this is a unique name that
identifies the resource. The actual resource is defined in
the .DDE file. The client application must specify a topic
name along with a service name when it attempts to
establish a conversation with a server.
• Item name — is a string that identifies a logical data
context. Items can be any pre-defined symbolic Variable
name. The Variable name in the user Program is used by
LogicPro as the item name.
For the client, these names are key for establishing a
conversation and receiving data from a server.
