Map Descriptor Example #2 – QLA Report.
In this example, a Map Descriptor is created to read the Latest Area Report (QLA). This report contains gas concentration and status 
for each port and sensor. Ten Data array elements are required for each port / sensor that is reported. The poistion in the array is 
dependent on the port/sensor number. Appendix B provides additional information. By specifying the extra arrays (DA_Bit_Name and 
DA_Byte_Name) the driver stores additional information.

This parameter may be omitted. If specified 
then the Data Array will be used to store 
the gas concentration value engineering 
units in ASCII. Storage position is 
dependent on the port/ sensor number.
