Otherwise, the driver assignment is not registered in the system. For example, you specify the avl_driver parameter in the sensor properties. The message from the unit contains the following parameter value: avl_driver=000a777e10. In this case, you should specify the value 000a777e10 in the Code field. If you applied conversion to a parameter, you need to specify the value after conversion in the field. |
