First I find it difficult to attach pictures to the forum.

Anyhow, explain the different in mapping. For instance the D2-AD-2. Under AD you would have 16 x's For example X20-X37. It shows data being on X20-X33 and Channel Bits on X34 and X35. But Do More is different according to the screen shot. Mod ID 3E. Mine show X16-X23 with memory WX0-3. What am I looking at in the screen shot? I am guessing with DO More, all that info goes away as it is not needed to make the module work.

Hope it attaches when I hit Post.

The analog inputs are already fully de-multiplexed, there's nothing for you to do. The WXs are the channel data, and the Xs associated with the slot are the channel status bits.
