8.3.2.3 RD_74_75_PARAM
Description:
• with this function the parameter string of a slave according to profile S-7.4 is be-
ing read
or
• the slave response according to profile S-7.5 is being read.
If it is about a slave according to profile 7.5, so have the data in the response buffer 
the following meaning:
FFh 00h: Transfer is still active
FFh xxh: Transfer finished with error
The first byte in the buffer notequal FFH: slave response. The response is in the 
same form registered in the buffer and transmitted over AS-i.
Since the string can be longer than the command interface, it is written into the 
buffer. The content of the buffer can read in parts from index i.
The first byte of the buffer is the length of the read string.
If i ≡ 0, the string is being read from the slave, otherwise the function responses 
out of the memory; the data can be read consistently.
