CG3360) can be printed on a standard printer and the layout can be prepared on a PC. For
preparation of the layout use AutoCAD file named CS0145.0001.3-Foil.dwg. This file is available on
www.cuesystem.com.

4. Addressing
The BUTTON_ID transmitted by a keyboard and BARGRAPH_ID are numbers used in the
programming for button and bar graph identification. Both values depend on a button or bargraph
position and it depends on a keypad ADDRESS too. Both values are calculated according formulas
BUTTON_ID = Offset + Button Code
BARGRAPH_ID = Offset + Bar Graph Code
Offset = 32 * ADDRESS
The lowest BUTTON_ID is generated by a button in the upper left corner the highest BUTTON_ID is
generated by a button in the lower right corner. The top bargraph has higher BARGRAPH_ID the
bottom bargraph has lower BARGRAPH_ID - see example for ADDRESS = 0.
