AXLink Levels

Levels are a means of applying a value to a physical element on the device. The ANT-RDR supports 8-bit
levels only with values from 0-255 to represent RSSI values.

When a device comes ONLINE, the Master assumes the device is at the default level status with all levels set
to 0. However, the ANT-RDR may not be in this default state and needs to inform the Master the value of any
non-zero level.

After a 'LEVON' command is received from the Master the ANT-RDR sends a level update for any levels that
are non-zero.
