Abstract
A method provides a data acquisition message of a data processing system to an external port thereof. Configuration information is written to a configuration register. It is determined if the configuration information identifies a data acquisition operation. If the data acquisition operation has been identified, data corresponding to the configuration information is written to a data register. The data in the data register and the configuration information in the configuration register are formatted into the data acquisition message. The data acquisition message is sent to the external port of the data processing system.
