8–15 Current Step in R/S Profile read decode as byte (hex)
Bits 8–15 must be read as a byte to indicate the current segment number of the
Ramp/Soak generator in the profile. This byte will have the values 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8,
9, A, B, C, D, E, F, and 10, which represent segments 1 to 16 respectively. If the
byte=0, then the Ramp/Soak table is not active.
