How to Use Axis Update Mode
Before sending the mode command, place the stylus/cursor on the tablet at one of your
desired grid intersection points. Send the mode command, then the update value. The
update value is in counts (of resolution) and can be a decimal whole number from 0 to 95.
(The default is zero.) Add 32 (decimal), a required offset, to the desired update value and
convert the sum into your preferred number base. For example, if the desired update
value is 10 (decimal).
desired increment +32 = increment value in
decimal = increment value
in hexadecimal = increment value
in ASCII
10 +32 = 42 decimal = 2A hexadecimal = ASCII
To disable Axis Update Mode, set the update to zero with the ASCII space character .
As mentioned above, the update value is in counts. The length of a count can vary
depending on the resolution and measurement system the tablet is using. Therefore, the
update length can vary. For example:
