Start of Packet
 Controller-to-Target: This is ‘less-than’ the character '<' (ASCII code 60).
 Target-to-Controller: This is the ‘greater-than’ character '>' (ASCII code 62).
Because this is used to provide a reliable indication of the start of packet, these two characters may not appear anywhere else within the
body of the message.
