IDEs normally consist of a source code editor, a compiler and/or interpreter, build-automation tools, and a debugger help to determine if the parameter is read-only, read-write, or nonvolatile.	Some parameters that come from the Smart Feedback DeviceA process whereby some proportion of the output signal of a system is passed (fed back) to the input.
