the part reads from. You can select BIN (binary) or BCD format. The number of registers

Style Option Description
X axis only
Reads two 16-bit registers. Register #1 determines the state of the shape
displayed. Register #2 determines the position of the shape along the X
axis. The OIT places the shape relative to the starting location. For example,
if the shape is located on the window at X=50, and Register #2 has a value
of 10, the shape is placed at X=60. If Register #2 has a value of -10, the
shape is placed at X=40.
