Edit treatment dialog contains several treatment parameters:
- Name of the treatment (en/hu): The name of a certain status in 2 languages.
- Handler type: don't change
- Datapoint type: don't change
- Bitmask: binary value. It determines the order of datapoints on treatment table and beside behaves as a status ID. It is binary because it is used in bitmask operations.
- Category: set the event category of a certain status.
- Blinking: actually it has no affect.
- Color: color is not mandatory to be identical to the color of associated category. In eventlist the color of the status can be set here.
- Effect mask: In many case a new status override the old one. Selected status in selection box will be cleared if the certain status occur.
