infos
  1. The function Luos_SendMsg returns an error_status that informs the user whether the message was stored in a buffer and is ready to be sent. User can monitor the returned value to be sure that the message will be sent.

  2. The Luos_SendMsg function is non blocking. This function loads the message into a Luos engine memory and Luos engine, leaded by your hardware, will send it as soon as possible.
