Steps to configure a Summagraphics Summasketch II Plus Digitizer with a 16 puck.

2. Use the KERMIT utility provided with PC ARC/INFO to test if the digitizer is communicating in ASCII mode or BINARY mode. See the Related Information section below.
3. If the digitizer is communicating in BINARY format, run the utility driver that comes with your Summagraphics Summasketch III Professional to set it to ASCII mode:
