The Roll-Up III Alarm Tones Roll-Up III Tones The Roll-Up III produces an alarm in the form of audio tones to inform you of various events. The table below describes the kinds of tones you might hear while operating the digitizer.
Custom Configuration Menu The Custom Configuration Menu is used to relay configuration informa- tion to the Roll-Up III in those cases where Table 1 and Table 2 do not supply that information or a SuperSet Menu Code for the graphic applica- tion software you are using.
The Roll-Up III The Custom Configuration Menu CalComp Selects CalComp-compatible formats. See Advanced Programming Information in the Roll-Up III Online Help for greater detail on CalComp format structure. Choices are: Binary, ASCII 1, ASCII 2, ASCII 3, or ASCII 4.
The configurations you set up can be stored for recall at a later time in any of the nine user-definable SuperSet Menu locations—codes 90 through 98. This allows the Roll-Up III configuration to be easily switched between applications, when you have such a requirement.
