The DLN_SPI_SLAVE_REPLY_MODE_COUNT_BASED reply mode allows to send data regardless of how many (or few) words are framed by the SS line. The DLN_SPI_SLAVE_REPLY_MODE_SS_BASED reply mode is set by default, it begins new data transmission/reply regardless of the data length. The DLN_SPI_SLAVE_REPLY_MODE_OFF mode disables transmission, it can be set for half-duplex write communication (for details, read SPI Data Transmission).
The DlnSpiSlaveSetReplyMode() function is defined in the dln_spi_slave.h file.
