Usage
Document Number: 3700S-901-01 Rev. A / August 2007
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).

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.
Reads the present position of the cursor for the user display.
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.
