Minor documentation error

Here is a persistent error in the documentation (minor but annoying):

In the System Installation Guide (current AN), the SYSTEM data stream says the follow:
90 2 Checksum The 1 byte sum of all 73 preceding bytes. In 26-7sci-hexformat, so 3A = 0x3A

Should say:
90 2 Checksum The 1 byte sum of all 89 preceding bytes. In ascii-hexformat, so 3A = 0x3A

This has been lingering for years, I'm surprised it hasn't been reported. All of my custom MFD instruments decode it properly, just not according to the current documentation.

This problem still exists in the EMS data stream documentation. Same garbled sentence and wrong data length (Should be 221 bytes)
