There are actually 3 different types of data frames that come from the RC, and you're guaranteed to get all 3 of them before repeating (i.e. no 2 frames of the same type will come in back-to-back). From looking at old source code provided by teams, it looked as if the old systems only had one RC data frame.
The control bits will tell you which data frame it is (check out the data frame control bits in the documentation) and as long as the control bits change from frame to frame you know you're dealing with RC frames. If the frame control bits do not change, you know you're dealing with OI frames (selectable based on the jumper on the OI). So what you will need to do is have your code read the data frames, look at the control bits, and if they're the right control bits then pick off the byte(s) you want to be viewing.
