template.
The valid values for this property,
which are contained in the
ConstSelfDocConsistency constant, are
as follows:
0
lcaSelfDocConsistencyIdenticalOn
AllDevices
The self-documentation on devices
using the device template must be
identical. This is the most efficient, but
least flexible, setting of this property.
It is the default for all devices without a
LonMark standard program ID.
1
lcaSelfDocConsistencyStringsMay
DifferByDevice
The self-documentation on devices of
this type may include different
self-documentation strings, but must
use the same self-information data
format. This is the default for all
devices with a LonMark standard
program ID.
2
lcaSelfDocConsistencyStringsAnd
FormatMayDifferByDevice
The self-documentation on devices of
this type may include different
self-documentation strings, and may
use different self-documentation data
formats.
The more restrictive values
(lcaSelfDocConsistencyIdenticalOn
AllDevices 0 or
lcaSelfDocConsistencyStringsMay
DifferByDevice 1) allow OpenLNS to
assume higher degrees of
self-documentation consistency among
devices using this template, and cause
OpenLNS to operate more efficiently
when validating the program interface
of those devices while commissioning.
However, these settings may cause
problems if the device developer has
produced multiple devices that have the
same program ID, but use different
self-documentation strings or formats.
As a result, do not set this property to a
