Good day

I have command to read Load Profile, but don't know what the last byte should be.
This is for a Landis&Gyr meter. (E650)

Command:(IEC)
[Read Load Profile] 10 bytes [Date from] 6 bytes [Time from] 4 bytes [Separator] 2 bytes [Date to] 6 bytes [Time to] 4 bytes [command end] 3 bytes
[81 d2 35 82 50 2e 30 b1 28 30] [YY YY MM MM DD DD] [hh hh mm mm]
[bb 30] [YY YY MM MM DD DD] [hh hh mm mm] [a9 03 ??] <- this last byte is unknown.

Is there a formula for calculating this byte?
The value ranges between 20-29, a0-a9.

If I cycle through all the possibilities I can make it work, but that drastically increases reading time.

Thank you

Last byte of Load Profile Command

Hi,

Last byte 0x3 is end of message. Before that is checksum.

Thank You!

I am very relieved that it is now working perfectly!
Can't wait to finish my AMR.

Good day.

I'm not sure why, but it's not working without ending command with extra byte.
It worked once or twice without extra byte, but since then all I receive after sending command is 0x95.

If I add 0x81 after 0x03 it works.
So:
[81 d2 35 82 50 2e 30 b1 28 30] [YY YY MM MM DD DD] [hh hh mm mm]
[bb 30] [YY YY MM MM DD DD] [hh hh mm mm] [a9 03 81]

Blessings
