Function Reads the annunciators that are presently turned on.
Usage annun = display.getannunciators()
annun Returns the bitmap value for annunciators that are turned on.
Remarks This function returns a bitmap value that indicates which annunciators are turned on. The
16-bit binary equivalent of the returned value is the bitmap. For example, assume the
returned value is 1028. The binary equivalent for this value is as follows:
0000010000000100
The above bitmap indicates that bits 3 and 11 are set. From the chart below, bit 3 and bit 11
corresponds to the annunciators that are turned on (4W and REM). Notice that the sum of
the weighted values for bits 3 and 11 is the returned value (1028).

Example Reads the annunciators that are turned on:
annun = display.getannunciators()
print(annun)
Output: 1.280000e+03
For the returned value of 1280, the binary equivalent is 0000010100000000. Bits 9 and 11
are set. Using the above chart in “Remarks”, the REM and EDIT annunciators are turned
on.
display.getcursor
Function Reads the present position of the cursor for the user display.
Usage row, column, style = display.getcursor()
row Returns the row for the present cursor position.
column Returns the column for the present cursor position.
style Returns the cursor style.
Remarks • This function switches the display to the user screen, and then returns values to indicate
row and column position, and cursor style.
• The row value is returned as 1 (top row) or 2 (bottom row).
• With the cursor in the top row, the column is returned as a value from 1 to 20. With the
cursor in the bottom row, the column is returned as a value from 1 to 32. Columns are
numbered from left to right on the display.
• The returned value for style is 0 (invisible) or 1 (blink).
Details See “Cursor position” in Section 14.
Also see display.gettext, display.screen, display.setcursor, display.settext
Example Reads cursor position (row and column):
row, column = display.getcursor()
print(row, column)
Output: 1.000000e+00 3.000000e+00
The above output indicates that the cursor is in Row 1 at Column 3.
