4.4. Client Side Driver Tables
A driver table is used to extend a table of values/attributes that have been hard coded into
the driver. It is possible to extend the tables using CSV file parameters.
Additional information on the use of these tables may be found in Appendix A.8
4.4.1. SHOW Response Attributes Driver Table
Column Title Function Legal Values
Protocol
The protocol must be specified on each row
of a driver table.
Sim4100
sim4100_Attr_Name
The SHOW command response consists of
a number of attributes and their current
state/ values.
Use this parameter to add a new attribute to
the table.
The exact
character
sequence that
must be
specified. May
include an equal
sign.
sim4100_Attr_Offset
If the response contains the attribute defined
above, its current state/value must be stored
at offset x in the associated Data Array.
Use this parameter to define x. Take care to
leave enough space for those attributes
which have multiple values.
May not be zero.
sim4100_Attr_Method
This parameter tells the driver how to
convert the current state/value for storage in
the Data Array. For example, the driver
cannot store the state ‘Normal’ . By
specifying method 1, you tell the driver to
use the state descriptor ‘Normal’ in a lookup
table of attribute states to find the value
associated to Normal and to store that
value.

May not be zero.
