 Define_CANopen_Transmit_Data() Used to dene the data sent from
the mailbox.
is function is used to dene the data sent from the mailbox.
Up to 64 bits can be loaded into a single message.
Multiple Define_CANopen_Transmit_Data calls are used to add additional
data to the message, up to the 64 bit limit (no more than 16 denes per mailbox).
e data is ordered in the same order as the functions are called starting at Bit 1
of Byte 1.
e Mailbox must be disabled to use the Dene Data function (automatically
done by the any setup transmit mailbox function)
