AddOrUpdateDataTableEntry Description
Generates the code required to add a stream entry to the selected stream thing. Note that parts of the auto generated code has to be updated with values for the entry. Specifically:
• Values: The values will by default be set to 'undefined'. Either hard code a value, assign the value from the service parameter, or from another variable.
• Location: The location object by default is set to 0 for the longitude, latitude, and elevation. If these values are known, they can be updated.
• Tags: By default, the tags object does not have any values.
• Timestamp: By default, the current time is used. This can be any value providing its a datetime.
The values, location, tags, timestamp, and source are used in the AddStreamEntry service call.
