Rem This example shows how to subscribe to dataset messages and specify a filter, resolving logical parameters to physical
Rem from an OPC-UA PubSub configuration file in binary format. The metadata obtained through the resolution is used to decode
Rem fixed layout messages with RawData field encoding.
Rem
Rem In order to produce network messages for this example, run the UADemoPublisher tool. For documentation, see
Rem https://kb.opclabs.com/UADemoPublisher_Basics . In some cases, you may have to specify the interface name to be used.
