Bit Pad Two 4
Power Supply: Source of power for the Bit Pad Two. It attaches to the data/power cable
and the power line.
Adapter Cables: Cable assemblies that can change the gender of the data/power cable
connector; reverse the communication lines or convert the power supply plug to the
international standards.
The Bit Pad Two translates the position of the stylus or cursor on the tablet into digital
information and communicates it to the host. The host is represented by a computer. The
stylus or cursor position is expressed as an X, Y coordinate pair. One coordinate pair is
called a report. Reports can only be collected when the stylus or cursor is in the tablet’s
active area and is in proximity.
Proximity is the maximum distance above the active area that the cursor or stylus can be
held and report a valid position. This, in effect, establishes a three-dimensional volume,
within which the cursor or stylus can issue valid reports. Reports issued from outside of
this volume are out of proximity (out-of-prox) and therefore, do not represent the current
position of the stylus or cursor.
