The default setting for Service is ‘Custom’, enabling entry of a Service Code not available from the Service pull-down menu. When choosing a
Service other than ‘Custom’ from the pull-down menu, an appropriate Hex. value is automatically assigned to the Service Code box which is dimmed
(unavailable).

In this example, we are writing to five parameters. Each parameter being written to requires three contiguous 16-bit words. Scattered write messages
always assume that every parameter being written to is a 32-bit integer, regardless of its actual data type. The data structure format is the same as
shown on
page 6-53
. Maximum length is 66 words, which equates to 22 parameters. For parameter numbering, see
Host DPI Parameter Object on page C-30
(Class code 0x9F).

Table 6.A on page 6-2
for limitations of PowerFlex 7-Class and PowerFlex 750-Series drives when using DPI Parameter Object Class code 0x93
or Host DPI Parameter Object Class code 0x9F for explicit messaging.
