Bytes Per Channel
3 as of release 1.0, 5 as of release 4.0
*This number of bytes per channel might change with newer release numbers. It is
set to 3 up to release 3.9, and 5 bytes as of release 4.0.
**Remote M&C developers must make use of this value to find out how many bytes
per channel are being transmitted.
