Read Data From All Channels

This command returns the most recent sensor data from all eight channels, starting with channel
0. Data is returned from all eight channels, including disabled channels.

Sensor data is scaled as a function of the declared sensor type connected to each channel. Refer
to the Sensor Data section for a list of sensor data scalars. In the case of disabled channels, the
returned value is meaningless.
