the second byte, select 1, and so on
The number selected can be considered as the
number of characters that should be ignored
from the beginning of the response
Terminated END_OF_RES: the data ends with the final character in
the packet
BY_CHAR: a certain character will define the end of the
response (for example, “A”)
BY_LENGTH: the response will always have a set number
of characters
Stop Value The stop value will be defined according to the type of
termination selected:
For END_OF_RES: N/A
For BY_CHAR: the character that defines the end of the
response

reading direction
BIT number: when selecting the BIT answer format, set the
BIT number (0,…,7)
Little Endian: the response value received from
the byte with lowest value to the largest
Big Endian: the response value received from
the byte with highest value to the lowest
Response Units: HOURS, MINUTES, SECONDS, USE_LOOK_UP_TABLE
(relevant to the power query, see Section 9.2.2
For the Power query always select the
USE_LOOK_UP_TABLE ), or NONE
(an arbitrary number without units) For the Lamp Hours query, select the correct time
unit
None is N/A
Section 9.2.1 shows how to set the query details for the Lamp Hours query and 9.2.2 Section shows
