Connecting to OPC Server

[sal]

Hi,
I'm a newbie to DSC module and i have a question on OPC connectivity. With the base Labview (non-DSC) you can connect to OPC servers through Datasockets, although I understand that Datasockets is not a true OPC client and there are some limitations. With the DSC module, however, LV is a true OPC client. How do I connect to OPC servers in DSC module? Is the only way through the tag engine? Do datasocket vi's in non-DSC work the same in DSC?
Thanks!

Yes and Yes. In DSC, you connect to OPC Servers via the Engine (and there are tools to browse the OPC Servers and create Tags for them, set your client's settings, etc.)

And DataSockets work exactly the same in DSC.
