The following table identifies the data that is required in each box to
configure a message to write multiple parameters.

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 6-42
. Maximum length is 66 words, which equates to 22 parameters. For parameter
numbering, see
DPI Parameter Object on page C-16
Host DPI Parameter Object on page C-30
(Class code
0x9F).

Class code 0x93 or Host DPI Parameter Object Class code 0x9F for explicit messaging.
