Figure 29. Bit Image Pattern Plan
A bit image pattern is easily defined by determining the decimal equivalent o f
the binary data byte. This decimal value may then be included in a program
data statement that generates the final Bit Image pattern. To determine the
decimal value of a data byte, the decimal weights for each dot are added
together. For the seven bytes shown in Figure 29, the decimal values are
computed as shown in Table 76.
