Device Properties
This section contains all of the settings for polling the selected device. Depending on the type of device, certain fields will be enabled/disabled. Every device has a description, type, address, bus number, unreliable delay, poll timeout, and poll interval, although the meaning of address andbus number changes from one type of device to another.
