D.1 Summagrid IV Interfacing Hardware
D.1.1 Overview
Summagrid IV report formats conform to GTCO 5A standards. To accommodate the
emulation needs, choose the GTCO format to be in ASCII or packed binary.
D.1.2 ASCII BCD Report Format
Within the ASCII BCD report format, select:
 Output to be in counts, inches or millimeters.
In units of measure, also choose the format to include a decimal or not.
This does not change the value of the coordinate. For example, 10.123
inches can be reported as either 10123 or 10.123.
 Each report to terminate with a <CR><LF> or just a <CR>.
 Delimiter to be any ASCII character. (The default is a comma.)
