2500 Series 3
Commands
The 2500 tablet can accept the command set of the CalComp 2000 series tablets as well as
commands of the standard CalComp 9100 series tablets. There are a few commands
specific to the 2500 tablet.
With these commands, you may override the default operating parameters set in the soft
switches without leaving operating mode. For instance, as drafting projects change, you
may adjust the resolution of the tablet or the number of points per second transmitted to
the host.
You may use any of the following to enter commands:
1. Terminal or host computer
2. Buttons on the 16-button cursor (limited command set)
3. Stylus or cursor, in conjunction with the menu overlay
The commands and command sources may be disabled if they interfere with the host or
software. The 9100 commands, 2000 commands, menu and 16-button cursor commands
may be enabled or disabled by setting the soft switches. They will remain that way until
the switch settings are changed.
NOTES:
 Commands cannot change the settings of the soft switches although they can
override them.
 Some commands may interact with others. You will be advised of the interactions.
 Command sources may not be mixed. For example, a command begun by the host
must be finished by the host, not the tablet menu or 16-button cursor.
 If a space character is required in a command, it will be designated by SP. All other
spaces in the commands are included only to make the command more legible.
 Toggling a command will turn the function off if it was on; it will turn the function on
if it was off. Unless you are certain of the state of the function it is better to specify
ON or OFF.
