The slave response to this function code is the slave address, function code, a count of the data bytes to follow, the data itself and the CRC. Each data item is sent as a two byte number with the high order byte sent first.

For example, request slave 17 to respond with 1 register starting at address 0008. For this example the value in this register (0008) is 0000.
