* The amount of data that can be transmitted at one time depends on the type of
data, and data can be received only from the specified starting address and size.
Refer to the Address and Size given in Section 3 (page 193).
* Data larger than 128 bytes must be divided into packets of 128 bytes or less. If
"Data Set 1" is transmitted successively, there must be an interval of at least 40 ms
between packets.
* Regarding the checksum please refer to section 5 (page 207).

There are two ways in which GS data is transmitted: Individual Parameter
Transmission (Section 3 page 193) in which individual parameters are transmitted
one by one, and Bulk Dump Transmission (Section 4 page 205) in which a large
amount of data is transmitted at once.
