Setup 23xxx tablet without using the menu
strip
A. If your 2300 Digitizer DOES NOT HAVE a menu strip with which you can change the tablet settings, you either
have a
Fixed Setting Board, (pre Aug, 1988), or may have
simply misplaced the menu strip, (which is removable,
on a Multiple
Format Board). The purpose of the menu
strip is to enable you to easily change the board settings in order to meet the
configuration settings required by software packages and the CalComp Digitizer & Mouse
Drivers.
B. Determining Board Type:
1. Type the following statement at the DOS
prompt to change the board to the
GTCO settings which are required
by Windows 3.x
& AutoCAD for Windows:
MODE COMx: 9600,O,8,1
ECHO 2GOj>COMx
The x in COMx above
represents either a 1 or 2, depending on the COM port
the digitizer is plugged into on your
computer.
Most IBM-Compatible computers come standard with two
serial ports (COM1 and COM2).
2. After the above statement has been typed
in switch into the C:\CALDB
Directory created during the original install.
a. Type CD\CALDB
[ENTER] at any DOS prompt.
b. At the DOS
prompt, type CCMOUSE /C1. If the board is plugged into COM1, it should find it
automatically.
c. If the
board is plugged into COM2, type:
CCMOUSE /P2
d. If the
message, "Tablet not Found..." appears, see Section C, Fixed Setting Board.
e. If the
message "Tablet driver loaded ...and...found on COM1 or 2" appears then you
have a Multiple Format
Board. See Section D, Multiple Format Board
C. Fixed Setting Board (pre Aug, 1988)
1. Place the following Mode & Echo
statements into the AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
MODE COMx: 9600,O,8,1
ECHO 2GOj>COMx
The x in COMx above
represents either a 1 or 2, depending on the COM port
the digitizer is plugged into on your
computer.
Most IBM-Compatible computers come standard
with two serial ports (COM1 and COM2).
These statements will
allow the board to be automatically configured
upon boot-up to the GTCO settings used in
AutoCAD.
2. This board defaults to a Summgraphics
MM-1201 format when reset. Because
of the reset and configuration
commands our drivers send
to the 2300 series tablet, the Fixed Setting Board
is unable to use the current driver
set.
D. Multiple Format Board (post Aug, 1988)
1. Place the following Mode & Echo
statements into the AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
MODE COMx: 9600,O,8,1
ECHO 2GOj>COMx
2. This board can use the most current
driver set for the DrawingBoard series
of digitizers. Protected mode ADI drivers
for
AutoCAD as well as Microsoft Mouse emulation drivers
are available in the latest 2.x release.
NOTE: The Wintab™
2.x Driver is available by downloading the file from the CalComp BBS at (714) 236-3045 or
Intenet site at www.calcomp.com
3. Install the portion of the Digitizer
Mouse Driver Set ver. 2.x to be used.
If you have AutoCAD for Windows, you will
want the Windows portion of
the Digitizer & Mouse
Driver installed and working properly.
