   typedef struct _MONITORING_COCKPIT
   {
       /* digital button state */
       unsigned char _iActualBS[NUM_BUTTON_EX];
   } MONITORING_COCKPIT, *LPMONITORING_COCKPIT;

.. note::
   - ``NUM_BUTTON_EX`` represents the number of cockpit buttons physically available (default: 6).  
   - Each element in ``_iActualBS`` corresponds to one cockpit button.  
   - Value **0** means "not pressed", **1** means "pressed".  
   - Typically used for **external cockpit hardware**, such as Smart TP grip buttons or optional control modules.
