function sendDATA(data, socket)
% sendDATA Send X-Plane formatted DATA over UDP
%
% Inputs
% data: X-Plane formatted data. Is a matlab structure with the following fields:
% .h: Header array containing header numbers corresponding to values in the X-Plane UDP Data screen.
% .d: 2-D Data array. Each row contains eight values corresponding to the header value (.h(1) corresponds to .d(1,:))
% socket (optional): The client to use when sending the command.
%
% Use
% 1. import XPlaneConnect.*;
% 2. data = struct('h',27,'d',[1,-998,-998,-998,-998,-998,-998,-998]);
% 3. %Send the data array to port 49005 on the computer at IP address 172.0.100.54.
% 4. status = sendDATA(data, '172.0.100.54', 49005);
%
% Note: send the value -998 to not overwrite that parameter. That is, if -998 is sent, the parameter will stay at the current X-Plane value

% To Do

% BEGIN CODE
import XPlaneConnect.*
%% Get client
global clients;
if ~exist('socket', 'var')

if isempty(clients)
socket = openUDP();
else
socket = clients(1);
end
end
%% Validate input
javaData = [];
for i = 1:length(data.h);
javaData = [javaData; data.h(i) data.d(i, 1:8)];
end
%% Send command
socket.sendDATA(javaData);
