BYTE 3 shows the presently active and previously active markers. The marker information is coded in
bit groups 0-2 (active marker), 3-5 (previously active marker), and 6-7 (not used); the decimal value of
those bit groups is the marker number. For example:
BIT NUMBER 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
BIT PATTERN XX 10 0 11
is decoded as "active marker is M3 (decimal value of bits 0-2 is 3), and previously active marker is M2
(decimal; value of bits 3-5 is 2).”
BYTE 4 shows the on/off status of the markers and marker functions. If a bit is set True (=1) the
marker or function is on, if the bit is False they are off. This is the bit code:
Bit Marker or Function
0 MKR SWP
1 Ml
2 M2
3 M3
4 M4
5 M5
6 not used (always = 0)
