The ADI communication device is determined with the ADI device object.
The following communication devices can be defined:
The communication device is defined in the device object's connection description with the necessary device parameters. Within the connection description, individual parameters are differentiated between using parameter identifiers. These parameter identifiers always begin with the "/" character.
Syntax of connection description:
/IF=<device name> [/<ID1>=<parameter value> [/<ID2>=<parametervalue> ... ]]
The /IF parameter is common to all communication devices. All other parameters depend on the communication device being used. Device names are not case-sensitive. At least one empty space is to be entered between the individual parameter specifications.
The connection description must always be specified in quotation marks ("...") in the object description.
Connection description example:
CD="/IF=panel /DA=2"
