Applicable Data Types for Output —IEEE 488.2

<INDEFINITE LENGTH ARBITRARY BLOCK RESPONSE DATA>

This data type is used by a device to return blocks of 8-bit binary
information when the block length was not predefined or when data
has to be computed later.

Note: If you receive a zero as the first digit (#0), it is necessarily followed by a

<RESPONSE PROGRAM MESSAGE TERMINATOR> so that you will detect
the end of the <INDEFINITE LENGTH ARBITRARY BLOCK RESPONSE
DATA>.

Example: #0<DAB><DAB><DAB><DAB><terminator> where
“<DAB>” stands for data byte.
