RE: Prototype for a command parameter.

There is no "2B 0".   If you mean "4B 0" (which is 2 bytes long, but 4
digits) then yes, they are very close to the same thing, except that the
"B" data type arbitrarily chops the number off at 4 decimal digits, while
the "I" data type allows the full 16 binary digits.

My question is: Shouldn't it be "5U 0"?  Can a command return a negative
     value for this item?
