*

The coordinates are in 

video

 terms, with the origin (0, 0) in the upper left corner of the sensor.  Examples from the 

controller’s

 perspective, however, place the origin at the lower left corner of the sensor (numbers in brackets).  The 

controller outputs 0 to 64K on both axes independent of display screen resolution. 
 

Get Feature – Get Status  

This is a request to send information that indicates the status of the controller. Among the 
uses for this request are determining whether there were any power on check errors 
determining whether the last request was completed successfully. 

The response to the reset request is sent before the request completes. Polling (via the 
status request) is then used to check the completion of those requests.
