Appendix A.4.3. Numeric Values
The driver recognizes numeric values by checking the first character of the value field. If it is a
digit then the field is treated as a number.
Appendix A.4.4. Occupancy Strings / Values
If the value returned for a variable is 8 characters long and each of the characters is a one or a
zero then the driver regards this as an occupancy string an converts it to a binary coded decimal
value and then stores this value.
E.g.: 00101010 = 42 decimal
