2.4.2 Data transfer with Block Check Character (FE1 mode)
This protocol, specific to HEIDENHAIN, works with different control characters and with additional
data checking when transmitting.
When a file is transferred, the first block, called the header , is sent. It consists of the following
characters:
"H" "Name" "M" BCC
(Start of Header): This character indicates the start of the header.
