Description

This node creates an XNET PDU object. It is an instance of XNET Database Create Object.

The PDU name input becomes the Name (Short) property of the created object. This is distinct from the string contained within PDU out, which uses the syntax described in XNET PDU I/O Name.

The PDU 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 new created object to the file, use XNET Database Save.
