Data format refers to the type of packet the controller uses to send the X/Y touch coordinates to the host system. Format Tablet is the default format for the 3M™ MicroTouch™ SX112 controller. In Format Tablet, the controller sends 5 bytes per point and provides the most rapid response time to a touch. -
Page 15: Sending Commands To The Controller
The general format of a command is as follows: <Header>Command<Terminator> Note: The following descriptions of header, command, and terminator, use 3M Touch Systems terminal emulator key sequences. You may need to enter the sequence in a different format, depending on your emulator. -

3M™ MicroTouch™ Controller SX112 Reference Guide Table 7 Calibrate Raw Status Bits Description Values S0 – S5 Reserved — Proximity (touch state) 1 = Sensor is being touched (a touchdown or a continued touch). 0 = Sensor is not being touched (a touch liftoff or inactive). - Page 22 3M™ MicroTouch™ Controller SX112 Reference Guide To terminate Format Raw, issue a Reset command. The controller may return several bytes of data between the time you issue a Reset command and the controller receives it. You can either scan the data stream for the Reset acknowledgment, or you can ignore the response to the first Reset command and then issue a second Reset after approximately 10 seconds has passed.
