Low Resolution Binary Format

Low resolution binary format conforms to an existing industry standard method of
encoding small digitizer coordinate data. It is a fast, efficient and commonly used format.
Low resolution binary formats are appropriate for applications needing low precision and
using tablets up to 20” x 20”. This format is five bytes long and is frequently transmitted at
9600 baud. It is used whenever the system resolution is set to 100 lpi, 200 lpi or 10 lpmm.
Table 6 shows the structure of this format at the bit level.

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.
