 There are specific categories of properties that define when an operator's properties can be modified. 
 
-`Configuration` properties only have effect when a workflow is started and are used to initialize the hardware state. If they are changed while a workflow is running they will have no effect.

+initialize the hardware state. Even if they are changed while a workflow is running, they will not have an effect until
+the workflow is restarted.
 
-`Acquisition` properties can be manipulated when the workflow is running and will have an immediate effect on hardware. For instance stimulus waveform parameters can be modified in real-time and sent to the device multiple times while the workflow is running to shape stimulation patterns.

+instance, stimulus waveform properties can be dynamically modified according to parameters in your workflow.
 
-`Devices` properties refer to the individual devices available within a particular aggregate operator. Aggregate operators include <xref:OpenEphys.Onix1.ConfigureHeadstage64>, <xref:OpenEphys.Onix1.ConfigureBreakoutBoard>, and more. Explore other available options under the [aggregate configuration operators](xref:configure) page.
