Variant Configuration (Read Key Variant / array of Clusters)

[Cloedu72]

Hello forum

I have noticed a special behavior when reading array of clusters. Normally missing entries are filled with the default value or the existing value of the variant. But when reading array of clusters the default (of datatype) value is always used.

I have implemented a customization for myself that does exactly this behavior.

The use case for this behavior is e.g. that you can have the default settings and then overload them with specialized values.

expample:

Default.ini
[DAQ 1]
AIChannels.<size(s)> = "2"
AIChannels 0.Name = "Pressure"
AIChannels 0.Channel = "D1_AI_Mod3/ai0"
AIChannels 0.Unit = "hPA"
AIChannels 0.Gain = "2.000000"
AIChannels 0.Offset = "5.000000"
AIChannels 1.Name = "Temp"
AIChannels 1.Channel = "D1_AI_Mod3/ai0"
AIChannels 1.Unit = "°C"
AIChannels 1.Gain = "2.000000"
AIChannels 1.Offset = "7.000000"
 

Special.ini
[DAQ 1]
AIChannels.<size(s)> = "2"
AIChannels 0.Gain = "4.000000"
AIChannels 0.Offset = "7.000000"
AIChannels 1.Gain = "20.000000"
AIChannels 1.Offset = "17.000000"

Can this customization be included in the OpenG Lib?

Greetings
Claude
