As I know, there is no decode for raw value (even in smartmontools).
So, you can just store this six bytes in 64-bit variable and print it
out.

Implementation of tests is quite easy.

I've wrote nearly the same project for linux some time ago, so I  can
htlp you with this project.
Please, mail me if you're get interested in my help.
