m.MAVLink_param_request_read_message(MAVLink_message) : class documentation

Part of mavlink View In Hierarchy

Request to read the onboard parameter with the param_id string id.
Onboard parameters are stored as key[const char*] -> value[float].
This allows to send a parameter to any other component (such as the
GCS) without the need of previous knowledge of possible parameter
names. Thus the same GCS can store different parameters for different
autopilots. See also http://qgroundcontrol.org/parameter_interface
for a full documentation of QGroundControl and IMU code.
