The template blocks begin at block #136. The number of template blocks
stored in memory is variable. Word 1, bits 8–15 (third byte sent using
RS–232) of the first template block indicate the total number of template
blocks in the configuration. You must always upload or download all of the
template blocks as a unit. You cannot archive only a part of the template
blocks. When uploading templates from the CVIM module, the program
should read the first template block and check word 1, bits 8–15 (third byte
sent using RS–232) to determine the number of template blocks to follow.
The number of blocks remaining is then 1 less than the total number of
template blocks. When downloading templates to the CVIM module, the
program must send all template blocks. Bits 8–15 of word 1 determine the
number of blocks to send.
