You will then be asked to confirm the update of the control information:


The control information relates to the lower pane in the template configuration dialog, namely the Control,
Radio, Callback, Lookup and Misc settings. These settings apply to the device, rather than the individual
sensors. They are set for the device, not individually for each sensor.


If you wish to update the control information, click

[Yes]

, otherwise click

[No]

.

Confirmation of the control update will be provided.


At this stage it is recommended that you save the template to ensure
consistency between the template file and the logger configuration.
