Transferring Data - Binary Example Messages 
There are two message types: 
1.  Main Messages 
2.  Continuation Messages 
Main Messages 
The main messages are in four types: 
SELECTION 
The Supervisor writes to one parameter. The (BCC) character contains the checksum of all characters following the (STX). 
 
 
POLLING 
The Supervisor requests to read the value of one parameter. 
(EOT)  (INO)  (PNO)  (CCC)  (ENQ) 
 
ENQUIRY POLLING 
The Supervisor requests to read all parameters in block 1. 
(EOT)  (INO)  (CCC)  (ENQ) 
 
MULTI-PARAMETER POLLING 
The Supervisor requests to read a given number of parameters.  That number is referred to as the count number (CNO), it is included in the request 
message and the reply will be sent by the drive, in blocks of up to 8 parameters. 
(EOT)  (INO)  (PNO)  (CNO)  (CCC)  (ENQ) 
NOTE   The (CCC) is the checksum of the characters following an (EOT) and is therefore equal to (INO) in Selection and Enquiry Polling messages. 
(EOT)  (INO)  (CCC)  (STX)  (PNO)  (D1)  (D2)  (D3)  (ETX)  (BCC)
