Hi all,
I'm sure this is a stupidly simple question, but I'm really struggling to find any EFB or similar to do this.
I want to map a block of data (like an array of INT) into an instance of a DDT.
The reason I want to do this is, I have an existing M340 rack (actually three racks linked with rack expansion cables) which is being migrated to an M580. Since the M580 won't fit in this rack the client has INSISTED that we use a single PRA module to link these three racks into the M580.
I've tried to convince them that a CRA is the 'right' way to do it, but no traction on that.
Anyway, I have a nice pair of DDTs (one for IN, one for OUT) configured in the PRA, with all of the appropriate data mapped into it, and it's nicely located at readable memory addresses.
In the DTM Browser of the master, I'm aware of how to create transactions etc. Although here it appears I'm unable to use any DDT as part of this mapping, restricted to only elementary types. So an array of INTs seems like the best system here... but then I still want to map this back into my nice DDTs, so that it's more obvious that data at the PRA end aligns with data at the M580 end (without remembering that DATA_RX[402].4 = Rack2.Slot10.Channel15.ERR)
And obviously manually mapping each data item sounds really rubbish to me
Help please
