* The amount of data that can be transmitted at one time depends on the type of data, and
data will be transmitted from the specified starting address and size. Refer to the
Address and Size given in Section 3. Individual Parameter Transmission (page 233).
* Data larger than 128 bytes will be divided into packets of 128 bytes or less, and each
packet will be sent at an interval of about 40 ms.
* Regarding the checksum, please refer to Section 5 (p.245)
There are two ways in which GS data is transmitted: Individual Parameter Transmission
(Section 3 page 233) in which individual parameters are transmitted one by one, and Bulk
Dump Transmission (Section 4 page 242) in which a large amount of data is transmitted at
once.
3. Individual Parameter Transmission
(Model ID=45H or 42H)
Individual Parameter Transmission transmits data (or requests data) for one parameter as
one Exclusive message (one packet of "F0 ..... F7").
In Individual Parameter Transmission, you must use the Address and Size listed in the
following "Parameter Address Map". Addresses marked by "#" cannot be used as starting
addresses.
