kitLon-BufferParams (Buffer Params)
This component in a Local Lon Device container configures the Neuron chip message buffers in the Lon adapter of a controller. It works only as a child of the
Local Lon Device (the only valid parent). Properties change the
Application and Network buffer counts and sizes.
CAUTION: This component is only for advanced users who understand the implications of changing these buffer settings. Improper use
can degrade operation and/or result in loss of data!
You add this component to the Local Lon Device from the kitLon palette.
