Event Pass-Through Block Format 
The block that is copied from the module to the processor has the following 
format. Each block can contain up to 4 events. The number of events per block 
will typically depend on the rate between how fast the module receives the 
events and how fast these can be passed to the processor (typically depends on 
the processor scan rate).
