Setup Digitizer wizard

Manual Setup

 

Unravel the received ASCII string yourself.

Received digitizer coordinates (check whether you have communication):

You have communication between the digitizer and the computer:

You definitely don't have a proper communication between your digitizer and your computer:

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.
