7.2 Configuring digitisers from the command line.

Platinum provides a tool, data-terminal, which allows direct access to
the command-line of any serially attached digitiser. This gives the

greatest level of control but also involves the most complexity.

Interactions with the digitiser's command-line are beyond the scope of
this document: please consult the relevant digitiser manual for

information on this topic. This section discusses use of the data-
terminal tool only.

To invoke the tool, enter the command

data-terminal

You will be presented with a menu listing all digitisers to which a

connection can be made:

Select the required digitiser from the menu. The data-terminal

program will suspend any service running on the associated port and
start a minicom session with the correct communications parameters

already set.

The use of minicom is described in section 14.4 on page 211. When
you have finished configuring the digitiser, key

+

then

to exit. Any previously running service will be restarted.
