In the response the “Number of Bytes” indicates the number of data bytes read from the instrument.
E.g. if 16 bits of data are returned then the count will be 2. The maximum number of bits that can be
read is 16 in one transaction. The first bit read is returned in the least significant bit of the first 8 bits
returned.
Read Holding/Input Registers (Function 03 / 04)
Reads current binary value of data at the specified word addresses.

In the response the “Number of Bytes” indicates the number of data bytes read from the instrument.
E.g. if 5 words are read, the count will be 10 (A hex). The maximum number of words that can be
read is 64. If a parameter does not exist at one of the addresses read, then a value of 0000h is
returned for that word.
