7.2.4 Map Descriptor Example 1 - Explicit Configuration using Network Management Polls
The Map Descriptor pollTemp_p shows the use of SNVT_Units for Scaling when polling temperature 
The Map Descriptor pollSwitch shows the use of SNVT_Option for Selective data scanning. This only brings in the “State” portion of SNVT_Switch

Explicitly Addressed Client Map Descriptors use 
this field to point to their relevant Server Map 
Descriptors. 
Explicitly addressed Client Map Descriptors 
use this field to extract the correct variable 
from the remote device's external interface. 
This field determines the Map 
Descriptor’s function. See 
Section 7.1.2 for more 
information. 
UNVT Byte length must be specified for correct 
operation.
