Figure 7-3 (Auto Acquisition Flow)

The data that is collected from the process described in Figure 7-4 (Auto Acquisition
Flow) is buffered to the module RAM memory. Since the amount of data returned from
the auto-acquisition process is extensive, the data is multiplexed into five separate
packets and for each individual channel. The multiplexed data can be read from a 40 byte
array which is located in the OF4IH0Input.HartData tag. The multiplexed data is
demultiplexed using ladder and stored in five different arrays which are structured using
packets zero through four. The packets are defined as “user defined data types” and can
be seen in Table 7-1 through Table 7-5.
