6.1.27 setparam

Usage:

   setparam [-type byte|short|int|long|float|double|boolean|string]
            [-desc <descrip>] [-unit <units>] [-ucd <ucd>]
            <pname> <pval>

Sets a named parameter in the table to a given value. The parameter named <pname> is set to the value <pval>. By default the type of the parameter is determined automatically (if it looks like an integer it's an integer etc) but this can be overridden using the -type flag. The parameter description may be set using the -desc flag.
