DIP Switch Settings and Functions
4.0 DIP Switch Settings and Functions
This chapter describes the functions of the Graphtec command set. For a description of the functions of other command sets, see Chapter 7, "DESCRIPTION OF OTHER COMMAND MODES."
4.1 The DIP Switch Functions
The DIP switches determine the default settings of the digitizer (the settings that will take effect when the digitizer is initially turned on). Before connecting your digitizer to a computer,
be sure to check the settings of the DIP switches.
(1) Settings of DIP Switch 1
The bits of this switch select the default settings of the resolution, output format, and data transmission (coordinate-reading) mode.

Description of DIP switch SW1 functions
- Data output format:
- Set Bits 1 and 2 to select the format of the data to be sent to the computer (coordinate data and flag data) to one of three output formats: ASCII, BINARY-1, or BINARY-2.
- Resolution:
- Set Bits 3 and 4 to select the unit resolution of coordinate positions to one of four values: 0.1mm, 0.025mm, 0.005 inch, or 0.001 inch.
- Data transmission mode:
- Set Bits 5 through 8 to select one of four data transmission modes: Remote, Point, Stream, or Switch Stream. When selecting either the Stream or Switch Stream mode, a choice of four baud rates are available.
(2) Functions of DIP Switch 2
The bits of this switch select the default settings of the RS-232C
interface conditions and end-of-text terminator character.

Description of DIP switch SW2 functions
- Terminator:
- the terminator indicates the end of a block of ASCII format data. Set Bit 1 of DIP switch SW2 to select either LF (Line Feed) or CR+LF (Carriage Return + Line Feed).
- Data length:
- Set Bit 2 to set the number of DATA bits per character to 7 or 8.
- Parity check mode:
- When the parity check mode is enabled, the number of even or odd bits being transferred is verified during bit transmission. Set bits 3 and 4 to select not parity check (NONE), even parity check (Even), or odd parity check (Odd).
- Number of stop bits:
- A stop bit indicates the end of a character during transmission. Set Bit 5 to select one or two stop bits per character.
- Baud rate:
- Set bits 6 through 8 to select the data transfer rate, i.e., the number of bits to be transmitted per second. The baud rate can be set within a range of 150 to 19200 bits/second (baud)
2) Functions of DIP Switch 3
The bits of this switch select the initial operation mode setting and
beeper on/off status.

Description of DIP switch 3 functions
- Coordinate pointer:
- Depending on the coordinate pointer you will be using, set Set 4 to ON (16-button cursor), or OFF (4-button cursor or stylus pen)
- Beeper mode:
- The setting of bit 5 determines whether or not the beeper is sounded when a button on the coordinate pointer is pressed.
- Operating Mode:
- Bits 6 and 7 select the digitizer's operating mode. Your digitizer comes set to normal mode. Change the setting of these bits only if you wish to perform an interface test or self test. After the test is completed, make sure to select normal mode again.
(4) Factory Presets
Your digitizer comes preset to the default settings below:
