--- Simply contains a choice box to operate the translated parameter. Provided for completeness and for testing purposes.
--- The device info page.
--- The maintenance page. The configuration parameters from this page are described below.The Dual-Translator logical device translates a set of user definable choices into the position settings of two switches (or equivalent). It may be used to combine two switches to a single function in the user interface.
To make use of the Dual-Translator, install it in the device setup, configure the translation tables and the message ID you want to translate. In your user screens operate the translated parameter now through the 'value' parameter of the Dual-Translator instead of directly via the parameters original message ID.

| choices | Enter the list of choices here which are to be presented to the operator when he edits the 'value' setting of this Dual-Translator device. The choice list must be entered as a comma separated list of tokens with no additional spaces between them. |
| messageId1 | Enter the message identifier here of the first parameter / switch setting which shall be controlled, eg. "SWITCH-1. position". Look at the list of device driver variable definitions to see correct name of this setting at the device type you are using. |
| choices1 | Enter the list of choices/positions here for the first switch. There must be the same number of position settings contained in the list as choices defined above. Choices and switch positions are assigned by the order they appear in their lists. |
| messageId2 | Enter the message identifier here of the second parameter / switch setting which shall be controlled, eg. "SWITCH-2. position". Look at the list of device driver variable definitions to see correct name of this setting at the device type you are using. |
| choices2 | Enter the list of choices/positions here for the second switch. There must be the same number of position settings contained in the list as choices defined above. Choices and switch positions are assigned by the order they appear in their lists. |
