7.3.2 Adding datapoints
A datapoint is a measurable value of an asset that can be represented numerically and
graphically. Examples of a datapoint are temperature or pressure. Within MindSphere you
add datapoints to a datasource to collect the data for example from a control unit. In the next
step you have to link the datapoints of a datasource with the respective variables of an
aspect.
