4 DATA ARRAY PARAMETERS
Data Arrays are “protocol neutral” data buffers for storage of data to be passed between protocols. It is necessary
to declare the data format of each of the Data Arrays to facilitate correct storage of the relevant data.
Section Title
Data_Arrays
Column Title
Function Legal Values
Data_Array_Name Provide name for Data Array Up to 15 alphanumeric characters
Data_Array_Format
Provide data format. Each Data Array can only
take on one format. The Cheetah driver always
sets Data Array elements to a zero or one. Thus,
the use of bit arrays is suggested but is not
mandatory.
Float, BIT, UInt16, SInt16, Byte.
Data_Array_Length
Number of Data Objects. Must be larger than
the data storage area required by the Map
Descriptors for the data being placed in this
array. 1-10,000. If you use the 'All' keyword
when
setting the parameter
Cheet_Zone/Device then the minimum
length is 128.
