Format of the communication command
1. format of Sending inquiry command: address+function code of read+register address+number of register+CRC, Response from sensor: address+function code of
read+length of data+datas+CRC.
Integer data for example: using 03 function code to read level data
a. sending 0x01 0x03 0x00 0x13 0x00 0x02 0x35 0xce,
b. sensor feedback/response 0x01 0x03 0x04 0x00 0x00 0x01 0xe1 0x3b 0xeb
from above response data to analysis, the level data is 0x00 0x00 0x01 0xe1, transfer to Dec data is 481, the default unit is meter and default decimal place is three,
then the feedback result is 0.481m level.
Float data for example: using 03 function code to read level data
a. sending 0x01 0x03 0x00 0x3e 0x00 0x02 0xa5 0xc7
b. sensor feedback/response 0x01 0x03 0x04 0x3e 0xf6 0x4e 0xab 0x63 0xf6
from above response data to analysis, the level data is 0x3e 0xf6 0x4e 0xab, IEEE754 floating point numbers converted from hexadecimal to decimal data is 0.481m
