In principle, the response has the format as shown in
Figure 8-4: Response format
●
Header consisting of:
–

Content ('user data content'), see also
fied.

Single linefeed character (symbolically shown as <LF>,
Example
The arbitrary block response data for a user data that contains 45182 bytes is:
#545182xxxxxx.......xxxxxx <LF>
The arbitrary block response data for a user data content 'THIS IS A TEST' is:
#214THIS IS A TEST<LF>
Explanation: 'THIS IS A TEST' has 14 bytes, and '14' has 2 digits, hence the #214
User data content
The previous paragraphs described how to separate the "user data content" from the
header. We keep the designator "user data content" in the further description for denot-
ing the totality of the contained measurement results.
The further description deals with the user data content and shows what is embedded
in it. There are similar mechanisms as with arbitrary block response data in the user
data content. As indicated above, the user data content can have 1 or more sections
with trace measurement results, depending on the selection of auxiliary measurands.
Each section is composed of:

size of the content.
Number consisting of as many digits as 'n' specified ( 'LLLLL'). This number
gives the size of the content
