Subject: digitizer settings for a calcomp drawing board III

Calcomp Digitizer 34240 (Drawing Board III)

With these settings and modifications we got our Calcomp Drawing Board III
succesfull running with S.u.S.e. Linux 5.1 and GRASS4.2.1

1) edit /etc/inittab to: S1:23:off:/sbin/mingetty ttyS1 9600

2) chmod 666 /dev/ttyS1

3) cd /usr/grass4.2/etc/dig_drivers
chown root */*
chmod 06775 */*

4) edit .../grass4.2/etc/digcap :

we use the cc95f5_16 Digitizer driver
so the entry in digcap should look like this
calcomp_f5:/dev/ttyS1:cc95f5_16:calcomp digitizer Binary 5

5) edit .../grass4.2/etc/digitzers/cc95f5_16:

type some wait commands like this

startrun
{
wait = 0.1
send = \027%^5\013 #set to format 5
send = \027%R\013
}
etc....

6) the settings on the Digitizer tablett for bank A and B

    1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9  10  11  12  13  14  15  16  17  18
A   1  1  0  0  1  0  1  1  1   1   0   0   0   1   0   1   0   1
B   0  0  1  1  0  0  0  0  0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   1
