Appendix A.10. Advanced Map Descriptor Example 1 - Errors 
If an error response is received from the panel then if a Map Descriptor similar to this one is defined, the driver will store the error 
message (and some information about the Map Descriptor that caused the error) in the Data Array DA_ERRORS. 
It is best to define the DA_ERRORS array as format BYTE and if you use RUINET to monitor this Data Array change the display 
format to string so that you can read the error. Refer also to Appendix B.1. 
Map_Descriptor_Name,  Data_Array_Name,  Data_Array_Offset,  Function,  Node_Name,  sim4100_func,  Length 
Error_Mapdesc,  DA_ERRORS,  0,  passive,  Node_A,  Errors,  200 
Appendix A.11. Advanced Map Descriptor Example 2. - Read Panel Time 
Map_Descriptor_Name,  Data_Array_Name,  Data_Array_Offset,  Function,  Node_Name,  sim4100_func,  Scan_Interval,  Length 
Time_Mapdesc,  DA_TIME,  0,  RDBC,  Node_A,  Time,,  30s,  70 
Index 0: Hour (24 hour clock) 
Index 1: Minute 
Index 2: Second 
Index 3: Day of week 
Index 4: Day of month 
Index 5: Month 
Index 6: Year (since 2000) 
Must be passive. 
Most recent error returned by the panel is 
stored here. Subsequent errors overwrite 
the data in this array.
