Using the "PHYSICAL READ" command, you can read out various MV commands (Machine
Vision commands).
The following commands are supported:

Data fetched from the reader:

Command: Trigger and read result string
To activate a trigger and read the result string, you will need to send a "READ" command with
address "0x0000". The table below shows the content of the memory area of the receive data
specified in the command ("CMD-STRUCT").
The total length of the result string is stored at the (virtual) addresses "0x0000" and "0x0001".
Note that if the result string is longer than the number of characters to be read
("CMD_STRUCT.LEN_DATA"), the end of the string is truncated. If the result string is shorter
than the number of characters to be read, the string is padded with the value "0x00".
You can also configure the format text so that the result bits "READ", "MATCH", "N_OK" are
inserted in the string.
If you do not want to know the total length of the result text, send a "PHYSICAL READ"
command starting at the address "0x0002" ("CMD_STRUCT.ADDR_TAG = 2").
You can also start to read from any start address, for example, when the result string is only
relevant starting at the 10th character in the code.
