DESCRIPTION
This Cmdlet get the DataTypes from a target system if symbolic information is provided by the device (Symbol Server running).
The DataTypes can be determined via different Providers (e.g.
ADS, MQTT, OPC, see the '-Provider' parameter.)

...
Get the data types from the local system (Port 851):
EXAMPLE 2
PS> $types = Get-TcDataType -Name 'ST_*' -NetId 1.2.3.4.5.6 -Port 851
Gets the DataTypes with name pattern 'ST_*' from the NetId / Port address symbol server.
EXAMPLE 3
PS> $session = New-TcSession -Name 'CX_123456' -port 851
PS> Get-TcDataType -Session $session | where ByteSize -gt 1KB
Gets an ADS-Session/Connection to the target system CX_123456 on port 851, downloads the datatype information and returns all the DataTypes that are larger than 1KB of Size.
