B.2 Pseudobinary data formats
The pseudobinary data format is a modified-ASCII format that uses the lower 6 bits of each 8-bit
data character to represent part of a binary message. To encode a number, its binary form is
broken into groups of 6 bits. Each group is placed into the lower 6 bits of a respective byte. The
