Header.
Suppress Clear Dataprovidesonemethodtoreducetheamountofdatabeing
transmittedbythecontrolmodule,accomplishedbynotsendingdatawhennoobject
isdetected.Thecontrolmoduletransmitsserialdataonlywhenoneormore
unblankedbeamsofthelightscreenarrayareblocked.Whenthearraygoesfrom
blockedtoclear,dataissentoneadditionaltime,indicatingtheclearcondition.
Suppress Headerisusedtopreventtransmissionofthethree-byteidentification
string(“headerstring”)associatedwitheitherASCIIorBinarydataformats.The
headerstringconsistsoftwobytesatthestartofthedata,andaterminationbyteto
