So the driver parses selected INI file and uses the info (i.e. Array-Register definitions) to generate Array-Register templates as shown below. Note how highlighted (bold) lines shown above correlate to Array-Register Templates shown below. Let's look at the 'dsc:N2 Live;cmd:4.3.46;typ:F;' line in more details... The point description (i.e. N2 Live) is being used as a tag name. The 'typ:F' is the data type (i.e. floating point). Finally, the '4.3.46' defines application, array, and register respectively. Note that 4 is not an application slot number, but application enumeration. As a result, a default Array-Register Template is generated by the driver for a specific application enumeration, and it contains all Array-Register points found in appropriate INI files.
