3M M2256PW Touch Data Format, = Two ASCII characters that provide status information about the

383M™ Multi-touch Display M2256PW User Guide

AD Indicates the PX series of controllers

Ffff = Four ASCII characters that indicate the features supported by the controller.

****Indicates no additional features configured

Ss	= Two ASCII characters that provide status information about the
	controller hardware. The two characters represent one byte. Each
	character is in the range 0 to 9 and A to F.
	Table 2 defines the meaning of each bit in the status byte. Each bit
	can be set to 1 or 0, where 1 = an error and 0 = no error. So a
	response of:

00 = No diagnostic errors (normal response)

The PX running with no errors returns the following string:

<SOH> AD****00 <CR>

The format includes two bitmapped ASCII hex status bytes. A “00” indicates no errors.

Touch Data Format

The format is a six byte packet that includes one status byte, four bytes of binary X,Y position data and a touch ID. The X,Y coordinates are 14 bits, providing a range of 0 to

16,383. The data is sent in the following format:
