SERVICE BITS BCD
Number in BCD code in the range 0 to 80
All values are read at the 0 1 variation of the synchronism signal SY. Each time, after entering a variable, the
indicator (CURSOR) for laying the next variable is automatically increased by one position (if not otherwise
commanded).
The 4 Service Bits can be used to enter an OFFSET (value 0 to 13) that the display unit will add to the variable
cursor position to lay the variable. In this case, the actual cursor stays in its initial position and increases by 1
relative to that position.
