binding A relationship between a widget in a station and a data source, such as a point, slot, component, tag, etc.

The most common binding, a value binding, provides information for presentation as text or a graphic. Bindings include mouse-over and right-click actions, and a way to animate any property of its parent widget using converters that convert the target object into a property value.

payload The objects, arrays and key/value pairs contained between open and close curly brackets that conform to JSON syntax.
subscription A method for updating a station with the current value of a remote component. When a remote component’s value changes, subscription synchronizes the related proxy point’s value in the station with the current value of the remote component. Subscription occurs in real time.
