		the second byte, select 1, and so on
		The number selected can be considered as the
		number of characters that should be ignored
		from the beginning of the response
Terminated	END_OF_RES: the data ends with the final character in
	the packet
	BY_CHAR: a certain character will define the end of the
	response (for example, “A”)
	BY_LENGTH: the response will always have a set number
	of characters
Stop Value	The stop value will be defined according to the type of
	termination selected:
	For END_OF_RES: N/A
	For BY_CHAR: the character that defines the end of the
	response
	For BY_LENGTH: the number of fixed characters that
	comprise the response
Answer Format:	BINARY_HEX, ASCII, ASCII_Base_16 or BIT	Select according to the main display protocol
		format
Endian Type/	Endian Type: select little or big, to define the response	Little Endian: the response value received from
Bit Num	reading direction	the byte with lowest value to the largest
	BIT number: when selecting the BIT answer format, set the	Big Endian: the response value received from
	BIT number (0,…,7)	the byte with highest value to the lowest
Response Units:	HOURS, MINUTES, SECONDS, USE_LOOK_UP_TABLE	For the Power query always select the
	(relevant to the power query, see Section 9.2.2), or NONE	USE_LOOK_UP_TABLE
