Figure 3 Configuration Tag
The Configuration tag consists of an InputDropMap and an
OutputDropMap section. The number of entries in each section depends
on the Comm Format (Master 7 Drops, Master – 14 Drops, etc.) Each
entry contains 7 blocks.
You write values to each block to tell the 56AMXN which drop’s data
will appear in the corresponding section of the input and output drop data
tags. There is a direct correspondence between the Config tag elements
and the data tag elements. For example, Local:0:C.InputDropMap[4]
corresponds to Local:0:I4, etc.
The configuration tag defaults to having data from consecutive drops.
For example, in the screen capture, InputDropMap[0] determines the
contents of input drop data tag I0, which will contain input data from
drops 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7.
Listen only Comm Formats have no configuration tag since they require
no configuration.
The following tables show the possible values that can be written to the
configuration tag.
