ASCII Formats
ASCII is a commonly used method for encoding text. ASCII coordinate formats can be
directly displayed on most printers and terminals, and can be easily handled by BASIC
programs. On the other hand, ASCII coordinate formats are longer than binary ones, so
they take longer to transmit and they occupy more space when stores in memory.
Table 9, Table 10 and Table 11 show the range of ASCII formats available on the AccuTab.
Besides the GTCO formats, emulations are provided for CalComp (in four variations), and
Summagraphics ASCII formats. All the formats are influenced by the resolution currently in
effect (higher resolutions require an additional digit of X and an additional digit of Y).
