File with descriptions of devices: devices.csv

The file with descriptions of devices contains an enumeration of devices, their types, and connection IDs. Connection ID in the device description file is specified in the connections description file and is used for linking protocols to the devices.

If you use different protocols with different sets of tags, you have to use several connections for one device. Connection IDs in each row of the devices.csv file have to be unique.

The file should begin with header strings containing the data needed for file processing. An example of header strings of the devices.csv file is provided below.

'Devices
