MM II 18
Section A: Controlling the Report Flow
The primary functions that control the report flow are Point, Remote Request, Stream and
Switch Stream modes. The secondary functions are Report Rate, Increment Mode and Axis
Update.
 Reports have a proximity bit.
 Each report has flag bits. These bits identify the stylus/cursor buttons that were
activated when the report was issued.
Point Mode
In Point Mode, the graphics tablet issues one report when pressing a stylus/cursor button.
If the stylus/cursor is out-of-prox, the last valid report is issued for each button press.
Remote Request Mode
In Remote Request Mode, the tablet issues one report each time the host sends a trigger
command. Issue the mode command once. Thereafter, send only a trigger command for
each report. After initiating Remote Request Mode, the tablet issues the report resulting
from the first trigger within ten milliseconds.
Issue reports with the trigger even if the MM is in Point, Stream or Switch Stream modes.
However, the reverse is not true: pressing a stylus/cursor button when the MM is in
Remote Request Mode does not issue a report.
When the stylus/cursor is out-of-prox, the tablet issues the last valid report each time it
receives a trigger.
