Operating Modes
Run Mode: Digitizer outputs coordinate data continuously.
Track Mode: Digitizer outputs coordinate data when button is down.
Line Mode: Digitizer outputs coordinate data points when a button is down; plus one when
the button is released.
Point Mode: One point is sent when a button is pressed.
Increment Mode Filter: Puts a movement filter on data in any mode. The transducer must
move N counts before the data can be sent. Then both axis data are updated. If out of
proximity data is enabled in increment mode, two data point may be sent on leaving
proximity.
Grid Update Mode Filter: Similar to Increment Mode Filter, except only the axis that the inc
occurred in is updated; the other axis is its old value.
Prompt Mode Modifier: Places the additional restriction on data transmission that the host
must transmit a prompt character to the tablet for each data point output. All other rules
of normal operation apply. The prompt character is “?”. Prompting is a feature, which
operates in conjunction with any of the above standard modes.
Send Data Out of Proximity Mode Modifier: If this flag is set, coordinate data will be sent
when it meets the output conditions in or out of the active area. Cordless units may not
respond to button information until cursor is close to tablet.
NOTE: This command should be sent after the mode commands.

Tablet status bit 0 or 1 set by command.
Data Digit. In ASCII formats, a numeric character representing
coordinate data. The number of X symbol represents the number of
allowable digits.
Data Bit. In binary formats, a bit representing coordinate data. The
highest-numbered “n” is the MSB.
Pressure pen data 0-7.
Pressure pen data ASCII.
Sign character “space”=pos “-“=neg.
IF NEG IT, ADD A “-“ CHARACTER
Send Data in Margin: If this flag is set, coordinate data point will be sent when it meets the
output conditions in the active area or when in margins.
NOTE: Margins on some of the tablets are very small and large, leaving the table than
coming in to the tablet.
Delta Mode: (mm mode only) Send relative data.
Output Formats: Shows only a sub set of formats for these products.
NOTE: Recommended for use with format 20, 23 or 7 for new drivers.

DTR
DTR toggled high low high five times in one second puts tablet in “software setup mode”
