 Note that since the revision number for the AGA3-1 meter application is 2101306-006, the INI parser will look for the 2101306-006.ini file in submitted ZIP archive. If no direct match is found, it will look for the another possible match based on the revision number (i.e. 2101306) and revision variant (i.e. 005 and lower).  Also note that user has a way to check what INI files were picked by the driver as a source of Array-Register definitions. This information can be obtained form default Array-Register template generated by the driver by following the 'View INI Files' link as shown below:

Below is an example that shows a portion the 2101306-006.ini file for the AGA3 Tube Application:

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 the AAR (i.e. application, array, and register). 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.

With the Array-Register definitions now defined for this device we can create some Array-Register templates to allow creation of Application-Array-Register (AAR) poll groups. Note that the ABB Totalflow driver is capable of generating default Array-Register templates - one per each enabled application type (i.e. application enumeration). If ABB Totalflow device connection was created with the 'Auto-generate Templates and Poll Group' setting turned on, the following default Array-Register templates will be generated for the Totalflow applications shown above:

These default templates for each application type will contain all Array-Register points obtained from applied Array-Register definitions that are applicable for this application enumeration. An example of this default template entry page is shown below:
