Plauen card format

Plauen cards have the following characteristics:

46 holes in all.
The center 36 holes encode X/Y coordinates.
The sides – 5-5 holes – encode M/c functions and sign of coordinates.
M/W phase toggle.
Transport holes (larger) separate coordinates and functions.

Functions are toggled according whether they are set for M or W phase. The example shows the meaning of the coordinates and functions as interpreted by the Wilcom FIXPAT program in the format X=, Y=, M or W phase, M/c function.
