Both INTeger and REAL formats return a definite block length. Each
transfer begins with an ASCII header such as #42204 for INTeger,32
and REAL,32 and #44408 for REAL,64. The first digit represents the
number of following digits in the header (in this example, 4). The
remainder of the header indicates the number of bytes that follow the
header (in this example, 2204 for INT,32 and REAL,32 and 4408 for
REAL,64). Divide the number of following bytes by the number of bytes
in the data format chosen
(4 for both INTeger,32 and REAL,32, and 8 for REAL,64) to get the
number of data points (in this example, 551).
