There are exemplified almost all the templates available: a string with arbitrary binary data; a text string; a bit string (either in an ascending or descending order inside each byte); a signed or an unsigned char; a single or double precision float in native format; a hex string; a signed or an unsigned integer value; a signed or an unsigned long value and much more.
