‘Reset’ messages. When not specified or set to 
‘Reset_by_any_Node ‘ then the driver will reset 
the data array points associated with the given 
node irrespective of the reset message’s origin. 
 
When set to ‘Reset_by_this_Node_Only’ then the 
driver only resets the data associated with the 
given node if the reset originated from the same
