RETRANSMIT OPERATION
It is not possible to read the flag offset values in a serial mode.
The Retransmit operation allows data that has already been read to be
accessed again. There are two stages: first, a setup procedure that resets
the read pointer to the first location of memory, then the actual retransmit,
