Parameter name is the session name passed to iseg_connect (for example "IF0").
Parameter object contains the fully qualified name for setting a new item value.
Parameter value contains the new value.
Return value is ISEG_OK if the object was stored into the data cache or

There are two different possibilities to set a control, an event status or an event mask data point, as a word instruction or as a bit array instruction.
Example:
iseg_setItem("IF0", "0.4.1.Control", "8");
Switch on HV channel 1 via an instruction by word manipulation.
Please note, that only bit 3, HV on will be set. All other bits will be reset!
iseg_setItem("IF0", "0.4.1.Control:3", "1");
Switch on HV channel 1 via an instruction by bit manipulation.
Please note, that bit 3, HV on will be set without affecting the other bits of the control word!
Please see the Module and Channel pages for a detailed description of the Control, Status, EventStatus and EventMask registers.
