5.2.4 Arbitrary Block Data Format
The arbitrary block data returned by query command may take either of the following forms:
<DLABRD> Definite Length Arbitrary Block Response Data:
The <DLABRD> is formatted as:
#<x><yy...y><byte1><byte2><byte3><byte4>…<byteN><RMT>
Where,
<x> is the number of characters in <yy…y>.
<yy…y> is the number of bytes to transfer.
For example, if <yy…y> = 01024, then <x> = 5 and <byte1><byte2><byte3>…<byte1024>
<ILABRD> Indefinite Length Arbitrary Block Response Data:
The <ILABRD> is formatted as:
#<0><byte1><byte2><byte3><byte4>…<byteN><RMT>
