Dear support!

I have a problem, where I cant identify all the bytes from the hex strings logged by AntwareII.
The problematic strings can be seen in the attached pictures.
Please help me to find out what they are.

Greetings: Roland

The picture is disappeared, so here are the strings:

Assign Channel A4 04 42 00 00 00 00 E2 00 00

Channel period A4 03 43 00 00 80 64 00 00

Open channel A4 01 4B 00 EE 00 00

Close channel A4 01 4C 00 E9 00 00

Reset system A4 01 4A 00 EF 00 00

All of them are longer than what the message lenght byte says.
These strings has been extracted from AntwareII logfile, after I did the short autostart example from ANTwareII user guide.

I see no trouble with the message length (Length = number of bytes after MsgID field, without XOR checksum). For Optional Zero Pad Bytes look at https://www.thisisant.com/resources/interfacing-with-ant-general-purpose-chipsets-and-modules/

Thank you for the help! I didn't noticed that in the documentation.
