Roll-Up II 60
Line Mode
In Line Mode, coordinates are sent as long as a transducer button is pressed. Output
occurs only when the transducer is in the active area.
To select Line Mode:
Custom Configuration Menu:
GTCO Commands: Select Line Mode.
Send command LN.
To set the rate at which coordinates are sent in Line Mode:
Custom Configuration Menu:
GTCO Commands:
Select 12, 50 or 100 under Rate.
Send command Rx (where x = 1-6), as
shown in Table 13.
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:
Custom Configuration Menu:
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.
