for a standard entry or a profile specific entry the configuration tool will adapt the data automatically if this attribute set (f.e. 0x1C32:02 will be adapted with the cycle time of the EtherCAT master)
If this attribute is True, the InitCmd shall not be considered if the configurator supports the modular device description because this InitCmd will be defined via the module definition (only for configurators supporting V1.3).
The diagnosis history object 0x10F3 is supported as defined in the EtherCAT Guidelines and Protocol Enhancements

device supports DC
one or more predefined DC operation modes. The first OpMode is the default one
internal reference name of the mode
display name of the mode
value of register 0980h and 0981h
cycle time of SYNC0. If 0 and attribute "Factor" is set, the cycle time is calculated as "Factor" * sync unit cycle time. If "Factor" is negative, cycle time is sync unit cycle time / "-Factor"
shift time of SYNC0 relating to global DC reference
if "Factor" is positive a value of sync unit cycle * "Factor" will be added; if "Factor" is negatvie a value of sync unit cycle / "-Factor" will be added
DC timing used for inputs - consider input DC timing
cycle time of SYNC1. If 0 and attribute "Factor" is set, the cycle time is calculated as "Factor" * SYNC0 cycle. If "Factor" is negative, cycle time is "-Factor" * sync unit cycle time
shift time of SYNC1 relating to SYNC0 reference
if "Factor" is positive a value of sync unit cycle * "Factor" will be added; if "Factor" is negatvie a value of sync unit cycle / "-Factor" will be added
