The complete send string (frame) is nine bytes (byte 0 … 8) long. Bytes 1 … 7 form
the data string.

2 Status → "Status byte"
3 Error → "Error byte"
4 Measured value high byte > → "Calculation of pressure value"
5 Measured value mid byte >
→ "Calculation of pressure value"
6 Read command > Read value

→ "Calculation of pressure value"
8 Checksum → "Synchronization"
1) The "Sensor Type" that is accessible via Byte 7 in all other CDGs can now be deduced
from address 56 (Exponent) and 57 (Mantissa).
