"will be -ing" followed by the simple present?

Hi,

Consider the following sentence:

"Each ABC unit will be receiving some input digital data, process it and finally output results in a user-defined digital format".

Would it be any better if I rewrote it this way:

"Each ABC unit will be receiving some input digital data, processing it and finally outputting results in a user-defined digital format".

Or maybe neither is passable? :-) Please help!

"Each ABC unit will receive be receiving some input digital data, process it and finally output (the/its) results in a user-defined digital format". "Each ABC unit will be receiving some input digital data, processing it and finally outputting (the/its) results in a user-defined digital format". I prefer an article or determiner before results .

  • "Each ABC unit will receive be receiving some input digital data, process it and finally output (the/its) results in a user-defined digital format".

A sounds like some kind of requirements specification for the unit.

B sounds like some planned future activity for the unit.
