Super L III 44
Set Digitizing Rate Code: Rx
Coordinates can be sent from Super L III at rates from 5 to 100 coordinates per second.
The second character in this command sets the rate, as shown in the table below. Actual
rates are limited by the communication baud rate and coordinate type you have selected.
The rates shown here are, therefore, maximum rates.

Change Mode Character Code: MC
Some applications may have a predefined meaning for the SOH (CTRL-A) character used to
invoke Command Mode. If so, invoking Command Mode may cause your system to do
something else. You can set the Super L III so that a character other than SOH is used to
begin Command Mode. Here is how to make the substitution:
1. Enter Command Mode.
2. Send MC, followed by a . Super L III responds with the prompt message:
ENTER NEW COMMAND MODE CHARACTER:
3. Enter the desired mode change character. The new mode character can be any
character except ESC (CTRL-[, hex 1B), (CTRL-M, hex 0D), CAN (CTRL-X, hex 18),
VT (CTRL-K, hex 0B), XON (CTRL-Q, hex 11) or XOFF (CTRL-S, hex 13).
Now, when you want to enter the Command Mode, send the new character. All other
command operations remain unchanged.
Select English Measurement Scale
Select Metric Measurement Scale Code: IN
Code: MT
Invoking these commands causes Super L III to scale coordinates in the desired
measurement system. The digitizer measures in only one scale at a time. See
Measurement Scales for additional information on how scale selection affects coordinate
data.
Enable Echo Mode
Disable Echo Mode Code: EM
Code: hex 0F (Ctrl-O)
These commands control echoing by the Super L III. When enabled, echoing transmits
each received character back to the sending device.
