So, lets turn this into ASCII. Treat vertical sticks as 1, horizontal sticks as zeroes.
The first line is 0001000, which 16 in decimal, which is the ASCII symbol for for "data-link-escape", or a heads up that a new message is starting.
The second vertical column is 00110, which is 6 in decimal, which is ASCII for "acknowledge", which is providing information about receiving the last message.
The third column would be 000001, which is decimal 1, which refers to a new header starting. This is slightly interesting in that the current translation is "New message starting: Old message received. Begin:" which is appropriate for a computer.
The fourth column is 0000111111111101, which isn't ascii at all. In decimal it's 2044, which is way too big. This is a pretty big strike against this. If we're willing to stretch it a bit though, we can break this into: 0001111 1111101, which fits perfectly into ascii, zeroes and all. The first one of those strings is decimal 15, which corresponds to "shift-in", an ascii character that I'm not familiar with, but is generally formatting related. The other one is decimal 125, which corresponds to }. This also isn't great because there isn't an open bracket to match it, so it's probably nothing?
The part where the wheels fall all the way off is in the third, I just can't tell where the different columns begin and end.
TL;DR, probably not ascii.
