Measurement wavelength absorbance values are in ASCII encoded floating point
format. Each absorbance value is separated by a space, but in case of minus value, a
minus sign is put instead.
Row1=wells(A1-A12),Row2=wells(B1-B12),….Row8=wells(H1-H12)

Reference wavelength absorbance values are in ASCII encoded floating point format.
Each absorbance value is separated by a space, but in case of minus value, a minus
sign is put instead.
Row1=wells(A1-A12),Row2=wells(B1-B12),….Row8=wells(H1-H12)
<checksum>:
The checksum is a two byte sum in ASCII encoded decimal(0-255) of all the ASCII
characters transmitted in the measurement or reference data block. The checksum
does not include the character string “.begin”<cr> in the checksum calculations.
The following is an example of both <Mes.data> and <Ref.data>:
“.begin”<cr>
