After setting the transfer parameters for the digital planimeter, you can test whether the instrument sends the data to the computer. Using the command Settings->Input test, a window displays where, after pressing the reading button on the planimeter, the received data is shown. If nothing shows in the module after pressing the button, the transfer parameters are either set incorrectly or the planimeter has switched off data sending to the serial port.

The window Communication test is designed only for digital planimeters, it doesn't show the input from digitizer. |
If all the settings are correct, the read graphic coordinates will display in the module window after pressing the reading button on the digitizing device (in boxes x' and y').
