Last Published: April 25, 2020

Summary

Steps to configure a CalComp 23000 series digitizer to work with ArcInfo Workstation.

Procedure

To configure a CalComp 23000 series digitizer, turn on or off the necessary switches on the digitizer by using the puck. See the digitizer's documentation for information about how to enter setup mode, and how to turn on or off a switch.

  1. Place the template so it fits over the pins on the upper left corner of the digitizer. The template divides the switches into 14 blocks:

       Setup
    Mode
    Parity
    Baud Rate
    Format
    Data Rate
    Res
    Freq
    Save default
    Save1
    Recall1
    Save2
    Recall2
    Reset


    Note:
    The settings for Mode through Res are critical for ArcInfo Workstation.

  2. Place the puck over the template and click the button to turn a switch on or off.

  3. Set Mode through Res like this:

    Mode        Parity      Baud     
    1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 1

    Format Rate Res
    1 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 0


    Note:
    The value 1 equals on, and 0 equals off.
