The most significant bit of the sequence bits %100 is used as a flag to indicate the last packet in a Burst Transfer.

See page 110 of the ANT message, protocol and usage version 5.1.

Hello Asbjørn, thank you for your answer. Sorry that I didn't made myself clear enough. I think the implementation of a burst sender is well documented what I didn't got so far, is how a receiver is properly implemented. I've edited my question to make my question more clear.

On the device that is sending the burst, after a burst has finished, an event message will be sent to the host MCU. If the event message is EVENT_TRANSFER_TX_COMPLETED, then the burst was successful. If the event is EVENT_TRANSFER_TX_FAILED, then the burst was not successful. The host MCU should wait until it receives one of these event messages before trying to communicate further.

Please have a look at these technical questions at thisisant.com.

Also, there's an application note available regarding burst transfers. Both these downloads may require login at thisisant.com
