Description

A Parameter is a handle to a parameter object of a diagnostic service request or response. It can represent a simple or a complex type parameter, i.e. a Parameter handle might point to a simple Integer or String parameter, or it might correspond to a parameter structure or a list of parameters, depending on the definitions of the underlying communication system.

In case of a MVCI/ODX based system a Parameter handle represents a MCDParameter object (or its specializations MCDRequestParameter and MCDResponseParameter, respectively).
