Command: Read match string
• The "Read match string" MV command is used to prepare reading of the match string. The
actual read operation is not performed with the "PHYSICAL WRITE" command.
• The memory area of the receive data of the "PHYSICAL WRITE" command only contains the
command identifier itself.
• Send the "Read match string" command with the "PHYSICAL WRITE" command and wait for
the positive response. Then read out the actual string with a "PHYSICAL READ" command.
• The "PHYSICAL WRITE" command must specify the length "0x01" ("CMD_STRUCT.Length =
0x01"); otherwise, the command receives a negative acknowledgment.

The "PHYSICAL WRITE" command must specify the length "0x01" ("CMD_STRUCT.LEN_DATA =
