2500 Series 20
NOTE: The increment distance must be set before you change the tablet to increment
mode.
If you set the increment distance, use Increment mode and exit to another mode; the
increment distance is stored by the tablet. You may return to Increment mode without
entering the distance again if the resolution has not been changed.
The 2000 Series compatible commands to change operating mode also set the data rate.
Set Increment Value
This command sets the X and Y distances the transducer must move to cause the output of
a new data point when the digitizer is in Increment mode. The command does not invoke
the Increment mode.
The value of n is the size of the increment distance, expressed in the number of resolution
lines at the current resolution. Changing resolution will change the increment distance as
the size of the lines changes.
The maximum usable increment value depends on the resolution setting; the value for “n”
is the resolution times the tablet dimensions. At 1000 LPI, a 12 x 18 inch tablet has a
maximum Y increment of 12,000 and a maximum x increment of 18,000. The minimum “n”
is one resolution line. The tablet will accept values up to 65,535, but the increment
distance would be larger than the tablet.
Host = ESC % X n CR
Host = ESC % Y n CR
Cursor = FF 8 n E (sets X increment)
Cursor = FF 9 n E (sets Y increment)
Menu = [SET X INC] [n] [CR]
Menu = [SET Y INC] [n] [CR]
Where n equals the desired increment value.
