Description
This node creates an XNET signal object. It is an instance of XNET Database Create Object.
The signal name input becomes the Name (Short) property of the created object. This is distinct from the string contained within signal out, which uses the syntax described in XNET Signal I/O Name.
The signal object is created and remains in memory until the database is closed. This node does not change the open database file on disk. To save the newly created object to the file, use XNET Database Save.
