**Description of master command**

The example will read A01 pipe diameter options and A02 Scale Factor.

slave address: 01(address of this flowmeter)

function code: 03(read instruction)

Address of first reading register: 0000(Address of first register to read)

Quantity of registers to be read: 0003 (need to read 2 registers from 0000)

CRC: 05 CB (Calculating error correcting code according to CRC algorithm)
