SECTION 3
DEVICE MESSAGE FORMAT
3-12
For example, to transmit an integer of 16706, the ASCII format is compared with the
Binary format, below.
The ASCII format requires 5 bytes. Whereas, the Binary format requires only 2 bytes,
and does not need the data format transformation. So, the Binary format is used for a
high-speed transmission.
