Character Conversion

Character conversion is an eight byte configuration item. The eight bytes are 4 character pairs represented in
hexadecimal ASCII values. The first character in the pair is the character that will be converted. The second
character in the pair is the character to convert to. If the character to convert in a pair is FF, then no conversion is
done.
For example, if you have the character conversion configuration item set to the following: 41423132FFFFFFFF
The first pair is 4142 or AB (41 hex is an ASCII capital A, 42 hex is an ASCII capital B) and the second pair is
3132 or 12 (31 hex is an ASCII 1, 32 is an ASCII 2). The other two pairs are FFFF and FFFF.
With the label, AB12BA21, it would look as follows after the character conversion: BB22BB22.
The A characters were converted to B characters and the 1 characters were converted to 2 characters. Nothing is
done with the last two character pairs, since they are all FF.
