Remarks

DataMiner sends a command to a data source:

  • to request information, or
  • to change a setting.

In both cases, DataMiner will expect a response from the data source. If it requests information, it will expect a response that contains that information, and if it changes a setting, it will expect a confirmation (although, in some cases, none is returned).
