    # BacnetSlaveEditorPlug  - contains the viewer (and editor, so it includes the 'controller' part of the
    #                                    design pattern which in this case is not separated from the viewer)

    # The _BacnetSlavePlug      object is 'permanent', i.e. it exists as long as the beremiz project is open
    # The BacnetSlaveEditorPlug object is 'transient', i.e. it exists only while the editor is visible/open
    #                                                         in the editing panel. It is destoryed whenever

    #                                                         editing panel, and a new object is created when
    #                                                         the editor is re-opened.

    #                             (these are the objects that actually store the config parameters or 'model'

    #    xx_ObjTable  -> ObjectTable -> CustomTable -> wx.grid.PyGridTableBase)
