Appendix B.3. DA_Field Parameter - Permitted values4.

DA_Field Legal		Description
Values
		DA_Func	# Bytes
		DA_Func=dart-password	231
		DA_Func=dart-config	41
		DA_Func=dap-config	4
		DA_Func=dap-log	240
	The whole data record	DA_Func=dap-unit	1
	returned by the Server	DA_Func=dap-stat	68
	is stored in the Data	DA_Func=dap-xtra	124
All	Array byte for byte.	DA_Func=dap-menu	103
	The number of bytes	DA_Func=chiller-stat	54
	written is dependent on	DA_Func=chiller-xtra	104
	the DA_Func.	DA_Func=chiller-menu	89
		DA_Func=dap80-menu	138
		DA_Func=dart-status	9
		DA_Func=dap80-analog	36
		DA_Func=dap80-channels	12
	Indicates that a user defined extraction is specified in the Map Descriptor.
Special	When this value is specified as the DA_Field value then DA_Method,
	DA_Bytcnt, DA_Offset, DA_Elecnt must also be specfied.

Appendix B.4. DA_Method Parameter Values and Notes

The DA_Method specifies a method for interpreting a range of bytes when the DA_Field=special.

Method #	Description
	Each byte is valid when it contains only one of the following ASCII characters.
	{ 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, A, B, C, D, E, F }
Method 1:	Each byte being parsed is considered to be a hexadecimal digit with the most
	significant digit being the left-most byte.
	The four bytes 30 31 32 33 (hex) are therefore interpreted as the hexadecimal
	number 0123 and the decimal value is equal to 291.
Method 2	As method 1, but used for humidity's and temperatures which are transmitted as the
	number of tenths of a unit – Thus the 4 bytes yield the decimal number 29.1 °F/%.
	Each byte is regarded as containing a hexadecimal digit in ASCII format.
	Example: incoming byte contains 41(hex). -> regarded as the hexadecimal digit 'A' in
Method 3	ASCII format.
	The hex digit is converted to a series of 8 bits. In this example the bits are 00001010
	with the msb being the left-most.
Method 4	As Method 3 except that the decimal value of this digit is written to the Data Array. In
	this example the number 10 would be written to the Data Array.
Method 5	There is no translation - the raw bytes are written to the data array.
	Processes an array of elements using method 1 translation. The raw data being
Method 6	parsed is considered to consist of DA_elecnt elements each consisting of DA_bytecnt
	bytes.
