Binary
Binary messages are meant strictly as a machine readable format. They are also ideal for applications where the
amount of data being transmitted is fairly high. Because of the inherent compactness of binary as opposed to
ASCII data, the messages are much smaller. This allows a larger amount of data to be transmitted and received
by the receiver's communication ports. The structure of all Binary format messages follows the general
conventions as noted here:
1. Basic format:
Header
Parameters Variable length binary data
CRC
2. The 3 Sync bytes are always:
