Hi !
1C ... 3A are values in hexadecimal (= base 16) notation, once famous at 
the beginning of the computer era because of the easy translation from 
binary ( = base 2) to hex. The hex notation uses the 0 ... 9 numbers + A 
to F ... numbers.A = 10, B = 11 ... F = 15
Example : 1111 (bin) = F (hex) = 15 (decimal)
How does it work ? Like all the numeral systems ! The first (right) row 
number is multiplied by 16E0 (= 1), the second row by 16E1 (= 16) and so 
on...
For more explanation see, for example
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hexadecimal.
or some math book if you have kept one in your cellar...
All sysex or MIDI messages are coded in binary and written in 
hexadecimal, easier to handle, but not to calculate with...
Cheers.
J.F.
