--310-0-10---0-----1-3101--   |----    all the numbers are
----------0----2-0---------   |2---    displayed in hex (..8,9,A,B..)
---------------------------   |----    due to er...space saving
0------------------0-------   |0---    (in fact i didn't expect that
------3------0-------------   |----     even 2 digit numbers would
                                        be needed 8-}  )
