Enable/Disable Margin Data
The margin is the remainder of the tablet surface surrounding the active area. Under
default conditions, no data is transmitted when the transducer moves into the margin.
Most of the margin is electronically functional however, and may be used.
When margin data is enabled and the transducer is over the margin area, the Mode status
character in the output format will read X. Also, the out-of-proximity LED (LED 4) on the
tablet display will light, even though the tablet is transmitting data.
Host = ESC % N b CR
Menu = [MARGIN DATA ON/OFF] [b] [CR]
Where b can equal 0 or 1:
If b = 0
If b = 1
If no b is entered Data will be transmitted from the tablet’s margin area (enabled).
Data will not be transmitted from the tablet’s margin area (disabled).
The condition of the feature will toggle.
NOTE: The margin area has lower resolution and accuracy than the active area. The
margin should be used only for non-critical uses such as user-defined menus. Do not
attempt to use it for high accuracy tracing.
Create Window
This command is used to create an active window on the tablet surface. The window may
be any size larger than the active area, enable the margin data. To move a window, create
a new one. To restore the full active area, cancel the window.
All the proximity indicators are triggered by the window edge as though it were the margin
edge.
Create Window:
Host = ESC % J W CR <dpoint 1> <dpoint 2>
Menu = [SYSTEM FUNC 1] [W] [CR] <dpoint 1> <dpoint 2>
