Enable/Disable or Change Prompt Character

The prompt character is sent by the host to the digitizer, requesting transmission of a
coordinate pair. When prompting is enabled, the digitizer will transmit one coordinate pair
each time it receives a prompt character from the host. The normal rules of the digitizer’s
current operating mode still apply during prompting. All the normal operating mode
requirements for transmitting a coordinate pair must be satisfied and a prompt character
received, before the digitizer will transmit a coordinate pair. The data rate limitation also
applies; the digitizer will not transmit data any faster than the commanded maximum rate,
even if prompting characters come in at a faster rate.

Cancel prompting by giving this command without a prompt character in the command
string; the digitizer will resume normal, non-prompt operation in its current mode.

The default prompt character is a “?”.

Host = ESC % Q b CR

Menu = [SET PROMPT] ([b]) [CR]

Where b1 is the desired prompting ASCII character.

b1 may be any ASCII character except CR, BS, RUB or @.

Prompting will be disabled if b1 is not entered.

EXAMPLE:

To set up prompting using “&” for the prompt character:

Host = ESC % Q & CR

Menu = [SET PROMPT] [&] [CR]
