Message text: Switches &1 and &2 must be set differently
The current data record contains the same characteristic value for
characteristics &V1& and &V2&. However it concerns switches with the
conflicting meanings. Therefore both switches can neither be set
simultaneously, nor not set simultaneously.
The current data record can not be interpreted
Normally the simultaneous entry of conflicting switches does not make
sense. It is sufficient to set one of the two switches. The system then
automatically sets the complementary switch correctly.
The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.
