Help with Summasketch 3 Tablet

[Mike Annetts]

Hello

Our school is trying to get a Summasketch 3 drawing tablet working with Mastercam with no luck. We have version 9 and are using the digatize C-Hoook. It Mastercam seems to recgonize it but the puck or pen doesn't seem to be working correctly. Can anyone using this tablet please email me as we desparately require some advice onits use and correct installation.

 

Thanks

Our digitizing tables have all worked with all the different versions of Mastercam until Mill V9.0SP1. Mill V9.0 works, Mill V9.0SP1 does not. I do not know what the problem is and have sent the question to Mastercam. For our Summagraphics Mircogrid III we use the settings of

 

Model = UIOF/Ascii

Resolution = 1.0 lines/inch

Calibrate = default

Com port = com1

baud rate = 2400

parity = Even

Data bits = 7

Stop bits = 2

 

Also in our windows, control panel, com1 port, settings, we have "Flow control" set to "Xon/Xoff".

Good luck
