    StringsNormal strings. The length must be specified to 0, the length of the string, or longer. If the length is set to 0, the string length is calculated. If the string length is longer than the string, the string is zero padded to that length.
    BytesOne-byte unsigned integers which can hold a value between 0 and 255. The only difference between Byte Hex and Byte Long is how they are formatted in the GUI.
    LongsFour-byte unsigned integers which can hold a number between 0 and 4294967295. The only difference between Long Hex and Byte Long is how they are formatted in the GUI.

    IPv4 Address

The data should be formatted with two hex numbers followed by a colon (for example, 01:23:45:67:89:ab:cd:ef). This string has a length value of 8. Hex types and Strings share the same length rules.
