2500 Series 13
RUN
TRACK
INCREMENT
Tablet outputs data points continuously. This mode is
called STREAM by some manufacturers.
Tablet outputs data points continuously while the stylus
tip or cursor button is depressed. Unlike LINE, there is no
extra point transmitted when the button is released.
Data points are only output if the transducer has been
moved for the required increment distance. The
increment distance must first be set by the SET
INCREMENT command. Increment may be used in
conjunction with LINE, RUN or TRACK.
Troubleshooting
Diagnostic Tests
When the tablet is powered on or upon reception of the software reset command, it runs
diagnostic self-tests to ensure the tablet is functioning correctly. After these tests, the
tablet sounds the utility tone and is ready for operation. If any test fails, the tablet sounds
an error tone and the test indicator flashes. The corresponding indicator (#1-8) of the
failed test will also light.
If the tablet fails the self-test, note which indicator is lit, write it down and contact your local
GTCO CalComp by Turning Technologies representative or call 1-866-746-3015. A
comprehensive description of the self-test and other diagnostic tests for the use of trained
electronics technicians is included in this section. You may be asked to perform the tests
and report the results to the service department.
No Data
If no data is being received by the host, check the following:
 Is the tablet plugged in to a live receptacle and is its power switch on?
 Switch the power off and then on. Does the tablet pass the self-test?
 Check the fuses.
 Are all connections between the tablet and host tight?
