Localize your variable names

Sometimes, you may want to modify variable names for the following reasons:

  • To find a name that better reflects the input you are receiving.
  • To provide a more accurate translation in your own language.
  • To make the purpose of the signal clearer.

By following this procedure, you can make these changes without altering the device mapper. For example, let's say you want to modify the translation of the variable "Custom Analog 1."
