PRIO = Left unconnected.
NVAR = Number of parameters to be read (2) → 2 parameters will be read in this example.

example.
DATA is connected via an "ADR" block to a new variable (4). Press the "..." button (5) and choose type
"ARRAY" (6), set Start index to 1 and End index to the number of values to be read, 2 in this example (7).
