ef
Header
Byte 1 Byte 2 Byte 3 Byte 4
s = sign bit (0 = positive, 1 = negative)
e = exponent bits (8)
f = fraction bits (23)
Normal byte order shown. For swapped byte order, bytes sent
in reverse order: Header, Byte 4, Byte 3, Byte 2, Byte 1.
The Header is only sent once for each measurement conversion.
A. Single precision data format (32 data bits)

Bytes 3, 4, 5, and 6 not shown.
s = sign bit (0 = positive, 1 = negative)
e = exponent bits (11)
f = fraction bits (52)
Normal byte order shown. For swapped byte order, bytes sent
in reverse order: Header, Byte 8, Byte 7 -- Byte 1.
The Header is only sent once for each measurement conversion.
