Misformatted | The Data Packet With Type-0x96- Returned Was

The header of the packet likely defines a specific length, but the actual data size differs.

Appendix A – Corrected Packet Format for Type 0x96 (Draft v2.4.1)
(Proposed update to specification to include explicit length check and reserved field)

| Offset | Field | Size | Notes | |--------|----------------|------|--------------------------------| | 0 | Type | 1 | 0x96 | | 1 | Length (P) | 2 | Payload length, 0–1024 | | 3 | Reserved | 1 | Must be 0x00 | | 4 | Sequence | 4 | | | 8 | Timestamp | 8 | | | 16 | Payload | P | | | 16+P | Checksum (CRC8) | 1 | Over bytes 0..(16+P-1) | the data packet with type-0x96- returned was misformatted

This revised format adds a checksum and reserved field to reduce future misinterpretations.

Since you have not specified the hardware or software platform you are using (e.g., a specific brand of PLC, drone flight controller, automotive diagnostic tool, or proprietary IoT gateway), I cannot give you a device-specific translation. The header of the packet likely defines a

However, based on common industrial and embedded systems standards, Type 0x96 (Decimal 150) is most frequently associated with extended diagnostic responses, timestamped data logs, or proprietary handshakes in protocols like J1939, Modbus, or UAV (Drone) telemetry.
