If this was the last available cycle data in the queue then another read would give the following result
(indicating that the queue is empty):
Empty package returned since queue is empty
8.17.1 Data types
The following data types are used in the following sections:
2 bytes, 16 bit unsigned binary
Zero (0) represent False and non-zero True
2 bytes, 16 bit, 2-complement signed
binary
4 bytes, 32 bit, 2-complement signed
binary
-2 147 483 648, …, +2 147 483 647
4 bytes, 32 bit long integer
Number of seconds since January 1, 1970
4 bytes, 32 bit, IEEE-754 standard
Array of bytes containing ASCII-
character
Null-terminated i.e. the byte after last relevant
character contains null, 0.
For data occupying more than one byte the order is that most significant byte comes first, at the lowest
address. This is also known as Big Endian or Motorola format.
8.17.2 Layout of Cycle data in Process data
The layout of Cycle data is set up by use of a Reporter.
