<pid> element

Device Kit Attributes Elements XML Reference
The pid tag specifies a parameter identifier (PID). By using the pid tag, the value of the pid can be extracted from the message received from the hardware device. The pid tag is also used to define how to stored a parameter into a message to be sent to the hardware device. This value in the message can be translated into/from the application value by using the translate tags. Valid subtags of parameter include those that specify where to place the parameter within the message and a series of transforms that manipulate the parameter''s data. You can set the units of the parameter with the units tag.

Element <pid> attributes
idIDSpecifies an unique identifier for this element. After defining an element with the id attribute, other elements can reference this element by using the idref attribute. Since the id attribute value is used by the code generator to generate field and method names, no spaces, periods or commas should be used.optional
implementationNameSpecifies the implementation class name.optional
idrefIDREFSpecifies a reference to the element with the matching id attribute. The matching id attribute must be specified before the idref attribute can be used.optional
