To energize the relays, the corresponding bit of the data byte must
be set high. Conversely, to de-energize the relays the
corresponding bit of the data byte must be set low.
(00000011, 3 in decimal, 3 in hex: energized both relay #1 and #2)

Notice that the returned data byte starts at address 00000000 in
binary, 0 in dec., 0 in hex., or NUL in ASCII. From left to right (msb
to lsb), the first five bits are really XXXXX “don’t cares” but are
defaulted as “00000”. The remaining three bits represent input #1,
relay #2, and relay#1, respectively. A “1” or a HIGH represents relay
energized/input present, and a “0” or a LOW represents relay de-
energized/input absent.
