Horizontal direction starting point [(xL + xH x 256) x basic calculated pitch]
Vertical direction starting point [(yL + yH x 256) x basic calculated pitch]
Horizontal direction length [(dxL + dxH x 256) basic calculated pitch]
Vertical direction length = [(dyL + dyH x 256) basic calculated pitch]
(X+Dx-1)<576 (3 inch, basic calculated pitch=1);(X+Dx-1)<432 (2 inch,
basic calculated pitch=1)
(Y+Dy-1)<768 (basic calculated pitch=1);
