    msg.TOT = 'MY_TOT'

    r2 = nistitl.AsciiRecord(2)
    r2 += nistitl.Field(2,3,alias='TEST')
    msg += r2

    buffer = msg.NIST

To parse a NIST-ITL binary message:

.. code-block:: python

    msg = nistitl.Message()
    msg.parse(buffer)
    print("The TOT is ",msg.TOT)
    for record in msg.iter(2):
