ANT Burst Communication

Hello, I wonder how an ANT client should / would / could receive burst data. From what I'm read from the documentation, I guess that the received data will be passed to the application by multiple messages with the MESG_BURST_DATA_ID ID. Is this right? If so, I would get the received data in chunks of ANT_STANDARD_DATA_PAYLOAD_SIZE (8 byte) size and would have to copy them somewhere else to handle them as a single chunk of memory. Is this right and how would the end of burst be notified to the client?

Edit: To make myself more clear: I'm quit sure, how to implement a burst sender / transmitter. What I'm unsure about, is how to implement a receiver of burst data. Is it true, that one can at most receive 8 bytes per burst message? I have to identify burst messages on the receiving side with the MESG_BURST_DATA_ID? Do I have to implement my own protocol to know when the all burst data was received or is there some kind of "End of Burst"-event?

cheers and thanks in advance, Torsten
