5.0 DIP Switch Settings and Functions
There are three sets of DIP switches, each consisting of an 8-position switch. The digitizer includes functions which are command-compatible with digitizers of other manufacturers. These are set by means of DIP switch SW3. The switch settings will depend upon the compatible commands. The following describes the DIP switch settings for Graphtec commands. For the settings to be made for commands compatible with other manufacturers' digitizers, refer to Section 11.
5.1 Graphtec Command Mode Switch Settings5.1.1 DIP Switch SW1
This set of switches is used to set the output format and coordinate reading mode:
Function SW1 1 (*1) 2 (*1) 3 4 5 6 7 8 Output format Termin-ator Mode Beeper Operating Mode Output format ASCII ON Binary OFF Terminator LF ON CR, LF OFF Mode Test mode ON Normal OFF Beeper Enabled ON Disabled OFF Remote mode OFF OFF OFF OFF Point mode ON ON OFF OFF Switch stream mode 150 data/s OFF ON ON ON 90 " ON OFF 40 " OFF ON 20 " OFF OFF Stream mode 150 data/s ON OFF ON ON 90 " ON OFF 40 " OFF ON 20 " OFF OFF Serial mouse mode FAST ON ON ON ON ON ON MIDDLE ON OFF SLOW OFF OFF
Notes: *1 In the serial mouse mode, positions 1 and 2 are used to select the data transfer rate *2 For binary format, position 8 of DIP switch SW3 is used to select either format 1 or format 2. Refer to section 5.1.3 for details. SW1 Function Descriptions
SW1 1
(Output format)Selects the format of data output by the digitizer; either ASCII format or BINARY format. See section 7. 2
(Terminator)Selects either LF or CR+LF as the data terminator in the ASCII output format. 3
(Mode)Normally OFF. When ON, sets the digitizer to the interface check mode. SW!-1 must also be ON. See section 10.3 for details. 4
(Beeper)Enables or disables the beeper. 5 to 8
(Operating mode)These positions are used to set the operating modes such as the point, stream and switch stream output mode. The mode can also be set by means of commands. When the serial mouse mode has been selected, use as a serial mouse is possible. In this mode, bits 1 and 2 are used to set the data transfer rate for the mouse mode.
5.1.2 DIP Switch SW2This switch is used to set resolution and data transfer conditions.
Function SW2 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Resolution 0.005" ON 0.1 mm OFF Data length 7 bits ON 8 bits OFF Parity bit NONE OFF *1 ODD ON OFF EVEN ON ON Stop bit 1 bit ON 2 bits OFF Baud rate 9600 bits/s ON ON ON 4800 " ON OFF ON 2400 " ON OFF OFF 1200 " OFF ON ON 600 " OFF ON OFF 300 " OFF OFF ON 150 " OFF OFF OFF *1 Settable to either on or off
5.1.3 DIP Switch SW3This switch is used to set command compatibility to digitizers of other manufacturers.
Function SW3 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Command mode Graphtec commands OFF OFF OFF OFF OFF OFF OFF *1 *1 Position 8 of SW3 is used to select either format 1 or format 2 of the binary format.
Note:
For the ASCII format, always set position 8 of SW3 to OFF
SW2 Function Descriptions SW2 1
(Output units)This position selects either inches or mm as the units for digitizer data output. For example, if a value 1000 is output as a coordinate value and mm had been selected, the least significant digit indicates 0.1mm, so that the value is actually 100 mm. For inches, the unit is 0.005 in., so that a value of 1000 would represent 5 inches. 2
(Data character length)Used to select the length of data in characters. 3 & 4
(Parity bit)The parity bit is used ot detect errors which may occur upon sending and receiving data. Odd parity exists when the total number of 1 bits including the parity bit is odd, and even parity when the total of 1 bits is even. 5
(Stop bits)This sets the bit which indicates the end of the data byte sent. 5 to 8
(Baud rate)These positions set the data rate for transfer between the computer and the digitizer. The setting indicates the number of bits per second that can be sent.
SW3 Function Descriptions SW3 1 to 7
(Compatible mode for other manufacturer digitizers)If positions1 through 7 are all set to OFF, the Graphtec commands can be used. By changing these switch settings, it is possible to use the commands intended for digitizers of other manufacturers. When making these settings, the settings of DIP switches SW1 and SW2 change, however. 8
(Selection of binary format 1 or 2)This position selects either format1 or format 2 for the binary format. It is effective only when position 1 od DIP switch SW1 has been set to OFF> 5.2 Switch Settings When Shipped From the Factory
