For each bit position, 1 represents a blocked beam and 0 represents an unblocked beam.
For example, for a 64-channel system with beams 1-6 blocked, beam 43 blocked and beams 62-64 blocked, the data
transmitted from control module 'A' is as follows:
0x1c, 'A', 0xFC, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x20, 0x00, 0x07, 0x0A
This string would have the start byte, controller ID, followed by the eight data bytes and terminated with the 0x0A. The
header bytes may be suppressed if necessary.
For Measurement mode analysis, the binary format uses two data bytes for each measurement mode. (If we have one
measurement mode, then there are two data bytes. For two measurement modes, there are four data bytes.)
For example, assume that control module B is configured for one measurement mode (FBB), and the value is 78. The string
from the control module is as follows:
0x1c, 'B', 0x00, 0x4E, 0x0A.
(a total of five bytes)
or
0x00, 0x4E
(a total of two bytes with Suppress Header option)
Now assume that control module B is configured for FBB and LBB with values of 74 and 303, respectively. The string from
the control module is as follows:
0x1c,'B', 0x00, 0x4A, 0x01, 0x2F, 0x0A
(a total of seven bytes)
or
0x00, 0x4A, 0x01, 0x2F
(a total of four bytes with Suppress Header option)

8.3 Max Meas Mode Command String

Max Meas Mode causes the control module to retain the maximum measurement values for a given object. These values
are transmitted either immediately after the control module is cleared or when prompted by the Host. The Max Meas Mode
Command String is a four-byte string that appears as follows:
• Control byte with decimal value 248
• Controller ID (one of 15 ASCII letters A through O, as specified in the PSF)
• Max Meas Command Transmit (ASCII letter T)
• Termination byte with decimal value 13
