E.1 CalComp Output Format
E.1.1 Overview
Summagrid IV report formats conform to CalComp 9100 standards. To
accommodate the emulation needs, choose from one of four ASCII formats or a
packed binary format.
E.1.2 ASCII BCD Report Formats
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.)
