Rules:

1. If the base field parameter is used, enum and bool are not allowed as values.

2. An array field is displayed as a list of space-delimited numbers.

3. A maxsize field parameter is required and defines the maximum number of elements in the array.

4. If just the maxsize parameter is specified (i.e., no size parameter) then the array is of fixed length.

5. A size field parameter is used to specify a variable length array field.

6. All other numeric field parameters apply to this field type with the exceptions of those noted in these

rules.

Examples:

Fixed length array field with 253 entries

Data,array, type=uint8, maxsize=253

Fixed length array field whose size is the number of entries in the enumerated list "AnEnum."

Data, array, type=uint8, maxsize=SizeOfEnum:AnEnum

Fixed length array field displayed in 60 columns

Data, array, type=uint8, maxsize=253, columns=60

Fixed length array field displayed in 60 columns and 3 rows

Data, array, type=uint8, maxsize=253, columns=60, rows=3

Variable length array field to end of message with a maximum size of 253

Data, array, type=uint8, maxsize=253, size=end

Variable length array field with a length specified in the Length field.

Length, uint16

Data, array, type=uint8, maxsize=253, size=Length

Array of bitfields. This applies only to messages defined with the BitPack option.

Data, array, type=bit, count=2, maxsize=16

Record Fields

The record field type represents a one-dimensional arrays of records. The type field parameter is used to define

the record to be used.

Rules:

1. The type parameter must be present and contain a valid record name.

2. A maxsize parameter is required and defines the maximum number of records in the array.

3. If just the maxsize parameter is specified (i.e., no size parameter) then the array has a fixed number of

records.

4. A size parameter is used to specify a variable number of records in the array.

5. Record arrays can be used as fields of messages and records.
