characters

Data_Array_Name

Name of Data Array where data is to be

One of the Data Array names

 

stored / retrieved in the FieldServer.

from “Data Array” section above

 

The use of this array is dependent on

 

 

the Optomux command used in the map

 

 

descriptor.

 

 

For example some commands use one

 

 

data value for all module positions to be

 

 

affected by the command (Driver will

 

 

only use one data array element). Other

 

 

commands may use one data element

 

 

per module position specified. In this

 

 

case the FieldServer may use up to 16

 

 

data array elements.

 

 

To fully understand this, read the notes

 

 

in chapter 6.

One of the Data Array names

 

dynamic module position specification.

from “Data Array” section above

 

Ie. You intend using a data array to tell

 

 

the driver which module positions to

 

 

affect by a command. In this case use

 

 

this parameter. Up to 16 elements will

 

 

be inspected. The first element will

 

 

always be used for the first module

 

 

position , the 2nd element for the 2nd

 

 

module position ….

 

 

Module positions are specified by setting

 

 

the corresponding array element to a

 

 

non-zero value. Module positions are left

 

 

unspecified by setting the module array

 

 

position to zero.

 

 

The first element of this array that is

 

 

used is determined by the

 

 

Data_Array_Offset parameter.
