4.1. Data
Arrays/Descriptors
The configuration file tells the FieldServer about its interfaces, and the routing of data
required. In order to enable the FieldServer for Setra Model 370 Digital Pressure Gage
communications, the driver independent FieldServer buffers need to be declared in the
“Data Arrays” section, the destination device addresses need to be declared in the “Client
Side Nodes” section, and the data required from the Servers needs to be mapped in the
“Client Side Map Descriptors” section. Details on how to do this can be found below.
