I'm working on a protocol, and we want it so that when the user sets a cell in a table to a specific value, it will send an empty string to the device. The issue is that we want DataMiner to display a blank space in the cell while the value is set to this specific value to let the user know that the current value is empty. I have ideas as to how to handle this, but they all seem to have some drawbacks, and I am wondering if anyone else has ever dealt with doing this before.
Thanks Miguel,
One of the ideas I had was to have the value map to an exception that will display an empty value.
Given that DIS complains when I do this however, it does seem like bad practice. That being said, it does achieve the desired results.
We found that for our purposes that having an exception for updating the table cell value was fine. We would have it update to an empty string on repoll.
Hi Bautista,
Just wondering, is it not an option to use exceptions?

You could send an empty string to the device, and the connector can map that empty string to an exception value.
