SummaSketch FX 43
Absolute Mode /A
Absolute mode maps the tablet’s entire active area to the computer screen. Relative mode
options (/S, /H, /V, /M) should not be used in Absolute mode.
NOTE: Applications accept input from TABLET.COM or TABLETMG.COM as either absolute
screen coordinates or relative mouse units, also referred to as mickeys. Absolute mode
works only with those applications that accept input as absolute screen coordinators. To
verify that absolute mode is working, position the screen pointer, then lift the cursor/stylus
out of the tablet’s active area and place it at a different location on the tablet. The screen
cursor should snap to a new location. If it does not, then the application works only in
relative mode and the absolute mode option will have no effect.
Other Options
/M#
/N#
Option overrides an application that changes the mouse cursor for text modes
by locking the mouse cursor to the default text cursor. To enable locked cursor,
type /M1; to disable locked cursor, type /M0. The default is /M0.
Option specifies how many screen updates to skip before actually plotting the
cursor. This feature is useful for laptops and other systems with slower LCD
displays. A small value is recommended because driver performance can be
affected. # is a number between 0 and 225. The default is /N0.
NOTES:
 When selecting a serial port other than 1, 2, 3 or 4, the /BA and /I options must be
used together.
 When using the /BA option, all four digits must be specified (Example: for COM 1 -
/BA03F8).
 Use the /BA and /I options when a non-standard serial address is used in the
computer.
Memory Location Options /U, /E and /HI
These options all you to maximize the amount of memory available for DOS application
programs. Move a majority of the TABLET.COM driver to a memory location outside of the
640K area used by most application programs. The /U command shifts the driver to the
upper memory area between 640K and 1MB. The /E command moves the driver into
expanded memory. The /HI command shifts the driver into the high memory area
between 1 MG and 1.064 MG.
