Re: ExpDataSN in Response PDU

Chuck,

Sorry - ay too late for a field name change.  It may be a bit misleading in the response but it is in the position held by ExpDataSN in other PDUs and it
is the total number of  Data-In PDUs. Data-In PDUs are not counted separately per sequence!

Julian,
                 
    Can we rename the ExpDataSN field in the Response PDU?
    
    Since the addition of data sequences the ExpDataSN (in my
    opinion) is not an accurate title for this field.

    9.4.8 ExpDataSN
    The number of Data-In (read) PDUs the target has sent 
    for the command...

    Prior to the addition of data sequences it made sense that 
    the total DataIn PDU count was the same as the ExpDataSN. But
    since sequences require the DataSN to be reset at the start of 
    a sequence the total Data-In PDU count may not equal ExpDataSN.
