Super L III 67
Note that digitizing rate is also dependent on the communication baud rate and format
type you have selected. The rates shown in Table 13 are therefore maximum rates.
Surprisingly, if your system seems to respond slowly to digitizer input, it may be because
the digitizer coordinate output rate is set too high. This may occur when a program buffers
excess coordinate data, thus causing a time delay.
Continuous Mode
In Continuous Mode, coordinates are sent continuously, at the specified output rate.
Output occurs only when the transducer is in the active area. Output occurs continuously,
whether or not a transducer button is pressed.
To select Continuous Mode:
Tablet Configuration Utilities:
GTCO Commands: Select the “Cont” option under Mode; select
12, 50 or 100 under Rate.
Send command CN; to select a rate, send
command Rx (where x = 1-6), as shown in
Table 13.
Line Incremental Mode
In Line Incremental Mode, one coordinate is sent when the transducer is moved farther
than a preset increment and a transducer button is pressed. Default increment is 0.01”.
Output occurs only when the transducer is in the active area.
To select Line Incremental Mode:
Tablet Configuration Utilities:
GTCO Commands: Select the “Line Incr” option under Mode.
Send command IC; to set a new increment
value, send command IV and at the prompt,
send three digits representing the new
increment in units of 0.001”.
