+
+2.1.3.20080402

+if a data value is unknown, user variable is set to PUNK_INT, PUNK_DBL, or PUNK_BOOL, and return value is EPHIDGET_UNKNOWNVAL
+Proper Device initializations on Attach:
+triggers are set to defaults on attach
+device state is read in and preserved on attach
+during attach event, all sensor data, etc. is provided if available
