Surface-Lit AccuTab 61
Point Mode
In Point Mode, one coordinate is sent when a transducer button is pressed. Output occurs
only when the transducer is in the active area.
To select Point Mode:
Custom Configuration Menu:
GTCO Commands:
Select the Point option under Mode.
Send command PT.
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.
