function [ status ] = sendDATA(data, varargin)
% 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,:))
% IP Address (optional): IP Address of the machine that will receive the data as a character array. Default is '127.0.0.1' (local machine)
% port (optional): Port on the receiving machine where the data will be sent . Default is 49009 (XPlaneConnect). In general use 49009 to send to the plugin and 49005 to send to the x-plane udp interface.
%
% Outputs
% status: 0: no error, <0: error
%
% 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
