Da_Byte_Name* Names a data array that the driver will

Length Length of Map Descriptor
Only some commands / queries
use the value of this map
descriptor parameter. This is
indicated in a table provide in
chapter 6.
For those commands and
queries that do use the Length
parameter the driver never uses
more than 16 elements of data
even if the length is set to a
larger number.
Although this driver does not
use the length parameter for
some commands the
FieldServer kernel does use
this parameter to ensure that no
more than one client map
descriptor has control of a
range of array data elements.
For this reason it is best to
always specify the length – in
these cases set it to 1.
1 - 1000
