Research direction
Start by tracing how connect requests are parsed and how protocol options are represented in the C stack; the issue names no specific files or tests. Determine where endianness and float representation can be retained and exposed to the application, then verify that applications can distinguish the supported scenarios.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
The API seems to lack the ability to get the endianness and float format information from e.g. the connect requests. With the stack not executing any data manipulation (which I think is the right design choice), the application layer would need to know these details to properly assess the content. For now I'm working with S7-1500 which appears to always leverage little endian and IEEE float representation but as the protocol supports different options I would want the app to be able to react to different scenarios.
