Description

Default

Note!

The Instrument List is stored in a non-volatile memory. Card/channel number assignment

will remain the same after a Gateway power-up or software restart.

Note!

Please keep in mind that the dynamic values of each sub device (analogue value, PV, SV,

TV, QV) are only cached by the Gateway if the respective sub device publishes those

values (see chapter 2.2.4).

After a network restart, the Instrument List needs time to rebuild. During this time, some

information is set to 0 or replaced by wildcard characters.
