Start delay
The duration of the start delay must at least be as long as the time for two characters and
depends on the baud rate.

Note: The time between two characters must be shorter than the start delay.
STX
The STX block is a single-byte ASCII STX character (0x02) and indicates the beginning of
the message.
LGE
LGE is a single-byte block and specifies the number of bytes that follow in the telegram. It is
defined as the sum of
● User data characters (quantity n)
● Address byte (ADR)
● Block check character (BCC)
The actual overall telegram is, of course, two bytes longer because STX and LGE are not
counted in LGE.
