– Editing Descriptors

Some descriptors can be set to one of several types. We suggest in most cases

that the user not change the descriptor type.

If you do change a descriptor type, it is important to note that the content of the

descriptor does not change, only the way the source treats this data block

changes. Therefore, when changing a descriptor type, make sure to check that the

data after the change still has a meaningful interpretation under the new

descriptor.

Also, several types of descriptors contain compulsory byte values. They must

contain a certain value to maintain correct block structure. As a workflow aid, all

the compulsory bits for the specified descriptor type are displayed in the

Compulsory Byte Value area. The application informs you if their value is valid or

not and if needed, their value can be changed to the recommended ones by

clicking Fix on the window frame.
