The measured values located at bytes 96-105 (in the 2 wire address 0xA2) are raw A/D values (16-bit
integers) of transceiver temperature, supply voltage, laser bias current, laser optical output power and
received power. All the measured values are "externally calibrated" over specified temperature and
supply voltage, and then it is necessary to convert raw A/D values to real world units using the
external calibration constants located at bytes 56-91 (0xA2) by the manner as shown in Table 6.2.
