– The query returns Definite Length Block Data, which allows any type of data to be transmitted as a series of 8-bit
data bytes. The first line is a pound sign (#) followed by one digit representing the number of digits in the decimal
integer to follow. This digit is followed by a decimal integer indicating the number of data bytes to follow, fol-
lowed by the first New Line. For example, "#47947" in the first line means that there are 7947 data bytes to fol-
low. The rest of the block has one command per line, each terminated by a New Line character (ASCII character
10).
