instead these can only be sent manually by the operator by pressing the “Send to

The hexadecimal values indicated in brackets are constant values for this
message. The fields in bold print are the variable ones and are described below:
H-LEN / L-LEN:
Length of the data field, from Data-1 to Data-n inclusive, represented in HEX-
ASCII. Maximum value ‘F’ (0x46) / ‘F’ (0x46). This is the effective number of bytes
contained in the data
field. The maximum number of bytes contained in the ‘Data’
field is in fact 255.
Data-1 .. Data-n:
Data field. The data field for the message code 0x51 consists of the following:
H-PRO / L-PRO
(2 bytes HEX-ASCII)
Record Tube-1
……
Record Tube-n
H-PRO / L-PRO
: Number of Record Tube contained in the message,
represented in HEX-ASCII.
The Record Tube number contained in the data field is limited by the fact
that the data field itself is able to contain up to a maximum of 255 bytes, in
any case the Record Tubes are never cut off.
