...For example, in the manual, the manual states that:


3)A numeric value preceded by BIN will send the ASCII representation of its binary value. For example, if B0 = 8, thenBIN B0 (or BIN 8) will send “1000".



This seems to be a contradiction - the ASCII representation of the character 8 is decimal value 56 (00111000)

However, the binary representation of the character 8 is
1000. The latter seems more useful, and is I believe what happens ...
