Yeah that shouldn't be a problem. I'll fix that.

Sorry your right the +1 isn't needed.

Why do we need the crc_len? M06 is the only one that uses the CRC
and the offset insures we are reading the necessary crc registers.

Unless I'm missing something it would simply be:

datalen = tplen * MAX_SUPPORT_POINTS + offset
