All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Comparable<ChannelAccessValueType>
```
public enum ChannelAccessValueType
extends java.lang.Enum<ChannelAccessValueType>
```
Identifier for Channel Access data-types. Each of these identifiers uniquely identifies a specific data type used to transfer data via Channel Access. An instance of a specific value type can be created using the ChannelAccessValueFactory.createValue(ChannelAccessValueType, Charset) method.

  - isSimpleType
```
public boolean isSimpleType()
```
    Returns whether this type represents a simple type. A simple type is a type which only stores a value and does not provide additional information (e.g. the alarm status). The DBR_PUT_ACKT, DBR_PUT_ACKS, DBR_STSACK_STRING, and DBR_CLASS_NAME types are not considers simple types because they do not transport plain values but have special meanings. Therefore, this method returns false for these types.
    
    Returns:
    
    true if this type represents a simple type, false otherwise.
  - isAlarmType
```
public boolean isAlarmType()
```
    Returns whether this type represents a type with alarm information (but no additional information). This is true for the DBR_STS_* types. This method returns false for the DBR_STSACK_STRING type, because it is considered a special, even though it transports alarm information.
    
    Returns:
    
    true if this type represent a (pure) type with alarm information, false otherwise.
    
    See Also:
    
    includesAlarm()
  - isTimeType
```
public boolean isTimeType()
```
    Returns whether this type represents a type with a time-stamp. This is true for the DBR_TIME_* types.
    
    Returns:
    
    true if this type represents a type with alarm information, false otherwise.
  - isGraphicsType
```

```
    Returns true if this type represents a type with alarm and display information. This is true for the DBR_GR_* types, including DBR_GR_STRING, even though it does not provide control limits.
    
    Returns:
    
    true if this type represents a type with alarm and display information, false otherwise.
    
    See Also:
    
    includesGraphics()
  - isControlsType
```
public boolean isControlsType()
```
    Returns true if this type represents a type with alarm, display, and control limits information. This is true for the DBR_CTRL* types, including DBR_CTRL_STRING, even though it does not provide control limits.
    
    Returns:
    
    true if this type represents a type with alarm, display, and control limits information, false otherwise.
  - isSpecialType
```
public boolean isSpecialType()
```
    Returns true if this type is one of the special types, false otherwise. DBR_PUT_ACKT, DBR_PUT_ACKS, DBR_STSACK_STRING, and DBR_CLASS_NAME are considered special types because they cannot be converted between simple, alarm, time, graphics, and controls types.
    
    Returns:
    
    true if this type is a @link #DBR_PUT_ACKT}, DBR_PUT_ACKS, DBR_STSACK_STRING, or DBR_CLASS_NAME, false otherwise.
  - isGettable
```
public boolean isGettable()
```
    Returns true if this type can be used in a get operation (transferring data from a server to a client), false otherwise. The regular types (isSpecialType() == false), DBR_STSACK_STRING, and DBR_CLASS_NAME are gettable. Only DBR_PUT_ACKT and DBR_PUT_ACKS are not gettable.
    
    Returns:
    
    true if this type is gettable, false otherwise.
  - isPuttable
```
public boolean isPuttable()
```
    Returns true if this type can be used in a put operation(transferring data from a client to a server), false otherwise. The simple types (isSimpleType() == true), DBR_PUT_ACKT, and DBR_PUT_ACKS are puttable.
    
    Returns:
    
    true if this type is puttable, false otherwise.
  - includesAlarm
```
public boolean includesAlarm()
```
    Returns true if this type includes alarm information. This is true for the DBR_STS_*, DBR_TIME_*, DBR_GR_*, and DBR_CTRL_* types. This method returns false for the DBR_STSACK_STRING type, because it is considered a simple type, even though it transports alarm information.
    
    Returns:
    
    true if this type provides alarm information, false otherwise.
    
    See Also:
    
    isAlarmType()
  - includesGraphics
```
public boolean includesGraphics()
```
    Returns true if this type includes display information. This is true for the DBR_GR_* and DBR_CTRL_* types, including the DBR_GR_STRING and DBR_CTRL_STRING types, even though they do not provide display information.
    
    Returns:
    
    true if this type provides display information, false otherwise.

    isGraphicsType()
  - toSimpleType

    See Also:
    
    isSimpleType()
  - toAlarmType
```
public ChannelAccessValueType toAlarmType()
```
    Returns the alarm type that corresponds to this type (has the same value type). If this type is already an alarm type, the same type is returned. Calling this method for the DBR_PUT_ACKT, DBR_PUT_ACKS, DBR_STSACK_STRING, or DBR_CLASS_NAME type results in an IllegalArgumentException being thrown, because there are no corresponding alarm types for these types.
    
    Returns:
    
    alarm type corresponding to this type.
    
    Throws:
    
    java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if there is no alarm type corresponding to this type.

  - toTimeType
```
public ChannelAccessValueType toTimeType()
```

    Returns:
    
    time type corresponding to this type.

    Returns:
    
    graphics type corresponding to this type.
    
    Throws:
    
    java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if there is no graphics type corresponding to this type.

    isTimeType()
  - toControlsType
```
public ChannelAccessValueType toControlsType()
```
    Returns the controls type that corresponds to this type (has the same value type). If this type is already a controls type, the same type is returned. Calling this method for the DBR_PUT_ACKT, DBR_PUT_ACKS, DBR_STSACK_STRING, or DBR_CLASS_NAME type results in an IllegalArgumentException being thrown, because there are no corresponding controls types for these types.
    
    Returns:
    
    controls type corresponding to this type.
    
    Throws:
    
    java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if there is no controls type corresponding to this type.

public static ChannelAccessValueType forTypeNumber(short typeNumber)
```
    Returns the Channel Access data-type that is identified by the specified type number. Each data-type has a unique type number that is used to identify this type in the over-the-wire protocol.
    
    Parameters:
    
    typeNumber - type number identifying the requested type.
    
    Returns:
    
    type identified by the specified type number (never null).
    
    Throws:
    
    java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the specified number does not identify a valid Channel Access data-type.
