Data and String Mapping – Auto-Map
The Auto-Map function looks at both of the protocols and will map the data between the two protocols
as best as it can so that all data is mapped. Inputs of like data types will map to outputs of the other
protocols like data types first. If a matching data type cannot be found, then the largest available data
type will be used. Only when there is no other option is data truncated and mapped into a smaller data
type.
If the Auto-Map function does not map the data as you want or you want to add/modify the mappings,
you may do so by going into Manual-Map mode.
The following are examples of the Auto-Map function.
1) This example shows a common valid setup.
a. Both Source values were able to be mapped to a corresponding Destination value.
2) This example shows how Auto-Map will make its best guess.
a. The 32-bit Float from the Source location could not find a matching Destination
data-type. After all other like data types were mapped, the only data type available
was the 2
nd
32-bit Uint data type. Auto-Map was completed even though the data in
the Float will be truncated.
