Driver properties
The table below shows the main properties of drivers. The required fields are marked with an asterisk (*).
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| Name* | The driver's name in the system. When specifying it, take into account input rules. |
Code | The driver's unique identification code. If you want to use this code for the automatic assignment of drivers, make sure that the code (including the case) corresponds to the parameter value of the created sensor of the Driver assignment type. 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. |
