The module allows a five-word read block transfer for rudimentary
program or hardware debugging (Figure 7.2). If a read block
transfer request is for more or less than five words, the module will
not perform a read block transfer.

Important: The user program that utilizes the read block transfer
must make sure that bits 06 and 07 (the write enable
and read enable request bits) of the MCB are not set
simultaneously.
The first four words of the read block transfer show the actual 12 bits
of data sent to the module’s digital-to-analog converters (DACs).
The first four words in the read block transfer appear in 12-bit binary
format regardless of the module’s mode of operation (BCD or 12-bit
binary).
