Structure of decoding list
The source file for the decoding list (MDECLIST.AWL) is supplied with the basic program.
DB 75 is created when the STL source is compiled.
There must be an entry in decoding list DB 75 for every group of M functions to be decoded.
A maximum of 16 groups can be created.
16 bits are available in each group in the list of decoded signals.
The assignment between the M function with extended address and the bit to be set in the
signal list is specified via the first and last M functions in the decoding list.
The bit address is generated correspondingly from the first M function ("MFirstAdr") to the
last M function ("MLastAdr") from bit 0 up to maximum bit 15 for each group.
Each entry in the decoding lists consists of 3 parameters, each of which is assigned to a
group.

Signal list
Data block DB 76 is set up when the function is activated.
A bit is set in the appropriate group in DB 76 for an M signal decoded in the list.
At the same time, a readin disable is set in the channel in which the M function has been
output.
