Parameter names
Parameter names must be well-chosen, describing the value that the parameter will hold. Note that this is also important to improve the readability of code in Quick Actions:
The Parameter class (Skyline.DataMiner.Scripting) generates constant fields for parameters defined in a protocol. The name of a field corresponds to the name of the parameter, excluding spaces and symbols.
The SLProtocolExt interface generates properties for parameters defined in a protocol. The name of a property corresponds to the name of the parameter, excluding spaces and symbols.
Prohibited names
The following strings must not be used as parameter names or parameter descriptions. Note that the items in the table should be considered case-insensitive (E.g. _clients_connected must also not be used).
