I need some clarification regarding the Types sheet in Profile.xlsx. It may be documented somewhere, but I haven’t been able to find it. Two things are unclear to me.
First, I noticed that of the roughly 200 documented Types, only about 140 are actually used in the Messages. For example, "language_bits_1" through "language_bits_4" do not appear in any Message. The same applies to "sport_bits_1" through "sport_bits_6". What is the purpose of these unused Types?
Second, the use of hexadecimal values in the Value column is not always explained. In some cases it’s clear, such as in the comments for "file.mfg_range_min" and "file.mfg_range_max". But for the type "file_flags", it could be interpreted that the bits can be used cumulatively. In that case, 0x0E would correspond to readable & writable & erasable. And maybe other uses of hexadecimal values are applicable elsewhere.
Can someone clarify this, or provide a link to existing documentation?
Many thanks!
