Tech/Engineering - Computers: Systems, Networks / Communications equipment | | Spanish term or phrase: siendo el último de tamaño corto | Communications equipment for signals - Real-Time Databases
Is the correct technical term here simply "short"? Can anyone explain what this is actually referring to?
"Un Grupo de Scan lo constituyen los puntos de la Base de Datos de la Remota Física que son de un mismo tipo y se adquieren en un mismo bloque mediante el scan M224. La ERT permite definir un número de elementos por bloque de cada tipo, de modo que la información de un mismo tipo se distribuiría en tantos grupos de scan como bloques, **siendo el último de tamaño corto si no se completase un bloque del tamaño predefinido.**"
My attempt is: "with the latter being short if a block of predefined size is not completed".
Thanks very much in advance. |

As JK notes, something along these lines should work for you: "... the last of these being truncated if a block of predefined size is not completed". |

| Reference: Explanation
Reference information:
My interpretation is that the selected records are fetched from the remote database in blocks. If there are not enough records to make up the final block, it is left incomplete and truncated.
(i.e. if there are 8 elements in the set and the block size is 3, the last block will be truncated to 2 elements).
