Unravel the received ASCII string yourself.
Received digitizer coordinates (check whether you have communication):
You have communication between the digitizer and the computer:
Received: coordinates as readable numbers;
You definitely don't have a proper communication between your digitizer and your computer:
Received: Nothing
Received: coordinates as unreadable characters
Read the Trouble shooting section on the Automatic Setup page.
Page options:
Received: |
Try to interpret the ASCII string after 'Received' yourself. You should be able to determine an X-coordinate, a Y-coordinate, and a value for the digitizer buttons (flags). |
Nr chars: |
Specify a value for total numbers of characters in the string after 'Received'. Count all characters in the string, including possible spaces, commas, etc. which may be used as separators. |
X Pos: |
Specify a value for the position where the first character of the X-coordinate is found in the string; this could be 1. |
X Length: |
Specify a value for the total number of characters used for the X-coordinate in the string. Do not include spaces or commas that are used as separators. |
Y Pos: |
Specify a value for the position where the first character of the Y-coordinate is found in the string. |
Y Length: |
Specify a value for the total number of characters used for the Y-coordinate in the string. Do not include spaces or commas that are used as separators. |
Flag Pos: |
Specify a value for the position where digitizer cursor button flags (sent when digitizer cursor buttons are pressed) are found in the string; this a single position. |
Flag Codes: |
Specify values for the flag codes that are received by the computer when digitizer cursor buttons are pressed; e.g. 1248 |
Example:
Suppose a received string reads: 07287,07980,0. When pressing digitizer cursor buttons 0,1,2,3, you obtain flag codes 1,2,4,8. Then, you should specify the following values:
Nr chars | 13 | ||
X Pos | 1 | X Length | 5 |
Y Pos | 7 | Y Length | 5 |
Flag Pos | 13 | Flag Codes | 1248 |
When finished, click the Next button on this page; the Setup Digitizer - Size, Resolution, Final Check page will appear.
