1.16 Resolution Commands: Variable Resolution
1.16.1 Description
The Variable Resolution command is used to define the resolution of each axis
independently. It allows the user to set the resolution to any whole number from
0001 to 2540.
1.16.2 When to Use
Variable Resolution is used to match the tablet resolution to that of a graphics
terminal. The resolution of a graphics terminal is measured in pixels, a unit of
measurement similar to counts. Therefore, to match the measurement system of
the graphics terminal (pixels) to that of the tablet (inches), the Summagrid IV
automatically changes the report format of the tablet to counts.

resolution and the results are sent to the host in the data format previously
selected.
