Data:
The data value transmitted is dependent on the ParamType, as described above.
The CurrentValue is always packed starting at the CurrentValue [0] byte in the
packet. For multi-byte data, the values are packed LSB first(CurrentValue [0]) to
MSB(CurrentValue [0+(num bytes-1)]). For example: Setting a given signed 16
bit parameter to a value of -300 the data array would be packed as follows:
Data[0] = 0xd4
Data[1] = 0xfe
Data[2 - 13] = don't care.
If a parameter's current value is a signed 16 bit parameter with a value of -3 the
data array would be packed as follows:
Data[0] = 0xfd
Data[1] = 0xff
Data[2 - 13] = don't care.
All signed values are in the 2's compliment format.
