When reception begins, the value in offset 0 is 8. At the end of reception, the value in offset 0
is 0. The data in offset 1 to offset 4 is received in order from the low order byte.

In order to use the data in the receive buffer, define a global variable having the same starting
address and capacity. In this example, the starting address is 200 (VAR_GLOBAL
ReceivedData) and the receive buffer capacity is 5 (ARRAY [0..4] OF WORD).
