Number of packets
in interleaved burst
message

The number of packets in the interleaved burst
message.
Note: As a "quirky feature" this value does not
clear when the burst finishes, and if no
interleaved burst is running, this will show the
number of packets that were in the last
interleaved burst that ran. It can be
determined if a burst is currently running by
examining bytes 11, and 12-13. They will be
non-zero if an interleaved burst is running.

Total messages in
mode

This holds the total messages transmitted since
the track mode began. It will be a total of the
scheduled track messages and the interleaved
messages.
