Typically MD3000 will need to have a fixed total size of bytes such that the creation of the message (MD3001) will result in the same size. That means MD3001 item c) number of bytes sampled will typically always be the same on systems that required fixed size telemetry packets (assuming a database change is not made every time a new table is needed) and the address count will always be the max number of entries.
Consider FSW update to report the actual used address count (those with nonzero byte counts).
