Table 5: Summagraphics Binary Format
Cursor Button Codes in Binary Formats
Cursor button codes are always included in binary formats. You can define certain
pushbuttons on your transducer to represent information that is relevant to your task. For
example, the buttons on a 4-button cursor could represent four line widths or four colors.
By examining the button code in the format, the application program can use this
information appropriately.
Binary formats include five bits which encode the button. The bits transmitted in the
format depend on the button pressed. Table 7 and Table 8 show which bits will be sent.
