2500 Series 10
Changing the Character Constants 9100 Formats Only
The tablet transmits ASCII characters to represent Tablet Status, Mode Status, Pen Status
and Cursor Status as well as position data. One or all of these characters may be changed
with this command. The command affects the data output from the digitizer.
After the change is entered, the new character will be transmitted whenever applicable.
For example, if you insert the character “*” in position four, the digitizer will transmit a “*”
as the mode status character when it is in POINT mode.
You do not have to enter all 44 characters; only characters up to the highest position to be
changed need entered. The characters must be posted in the following order:
