MM II 34
Transmission Control
The Stop Transmission and Resume Transmission commands act as software gates,
controlling data transmission from the MM II to the host. These commands control the
data flow, regardless of the report collection mode (Stream, Point, etc.). Stop Transmission
and Resume Transmission are equivalents of the protocols XOFF and XON.
Stop Transmission places the graphics tablet on standby. It is useful for systems that do
not constantly use the graphics tablet. End the standby state by sending the Resume
Transmission command.
While on standby, the tablet can buffer up to ten commands, which it executes after
receiving the Resume Transmission command.
If a Stop Transmission is issued while data is being transmitted, no data is lost. The MM II
severs the data transmission at the end of the byte. When a Resume Transmission
command is issued, the tablet resumes operation.
NOTE: The Reset command does not cancel the Stop Transmission command.
