Input Size
This parameter identifies the size, in words, of the data array that is read
from the controller attached to the DNI’s RS-232 port. The array may

Series B) from a contiguous block within the attached controller.
The first byte (byte 0) of the first word contains the status byte and is not
available to the user. A sample of the data array is shown below:
