My goal is to read the status of a CNC machine that uses an Andron controller. There is a data file located on the machine that I want to use to read the status with. However, I have ran into a problem decoding the data file. Most of it is ASCII control characters and some parts are text but the majority of the data being shared is encoded as a string like "¶d]zi". The general pattern of data will read as follows
START OF HEADING
END OF TRANSMISSION
šÓRzq
ACKNOWLEDGE

START OF HEADING
END OF TRANSMISSION

ACKNOWLEDGE

I was wondering if anyone could give me some insight into what the coded strings are or how to go about decoding them?
