Ill-Defined Behavior When Over-Defining Parameters

[jacobson3]

The custom device allows messages with parameters which overlap other parameters. This can be useful if you are receiving information as you can print both the "parameterized" and "raw" data simultaneously and both VS channels are simply reading from the same data source. However, if you over-define data that you are transmitting you end up with two parameter channels which are both supposed to write to the same hardware buffer. This behavior is ill-defined and the custom device should probably throw some configuration error if the parameters aren't being defined correctly.
