followed by a variable-length, message-specific content section. The structure of the GDPmessage is
defined below.
Field Type Offset Description
size 32u 0 Count of bytes in message (including this field).
control 16u 4
Bit 15: Last Message flag
Bits 0-14: Message type identifier.(See individual data result
sections.)
Gocator DataProtocol
GDP messages are always sent in groups. The Last Message flag in the control field is used to indicate the
final message in a group. If there is only one message per group, this bit will be set in each message.

encoder 64s 16 Current encoder value (ticks).
encoderAtZ 64s 24 Encoder value latched at z/index mark (ticks).
status 64u 32
Bit field containing various frame information:
Bit 0: sensor digital input state
Bit 4: master digital input state
Bit 8-9: inter-frame digital pulse trigger (Master digital input if
master is connected, otherwise sensor digital input. Value is
cleared after each frame and clamped at 3 if more than 3 pulses
are received).
serialNumber 32u 40 Sensor serial number. (In a dual-sensor system, the serial number
of the main sensor.)
