=======================================================
Bentley's Digitizer Tablet Interface (BDTI) implement a portion of the
WINTAB protocol as documented by LCS/Telegraphics. This driver enables
MicroStation users to utilize a variety of digitizer tables and tablets
in the Windows environment without requiring a WINTAB driver from the
digitizer vendor.
Running the executable distribution file will create the following files:
wintab.exe - Installation program
wintab32.dll - Windows drivers

============================================
Highlights of changes from previous release
============================================
SmartPuck. technology
---------------------
A productivity feature has been added to this driver. "SmartPuck" technology
is the name given to a variety of features that can improve your productivity
when using a digitizer.
The first of these enhancements implements a "filtered" mode of operation.
"Filtered" mode means that the sensitivity of the puck is temporally reduced.
When configured properly, this operational mode can provide the following
features:
1) Elimination of cursor jitter when using a mouse and a digitizer.
2) Elimination of cursor jitter when using a digitizer whose registration
is not precise.
3) Less fighting between multiple pointing devices.
The 2 typical uses are:
1) Not needing to remove the puck from the digitizer or flipping the puck
over when you want to use the mouse.
2) Filtering out jitter from tablets.
You can control this feature by selecting the following buttons from the
"Bentley Tablet Driver" dialog box:
"Advanced..."
"Smart Puck Filter..."
Icon indications
----------------
This driver adds a stylized Bentley "B" logo to the Windows system tray
area. This icon shows that this driver is active and can indicate that status
of the SmartPuck. technology. If you "left-click" or "left-double-click" on
the icon, the driver's configuration dialog box display. If you place the
cursor over the dialog, a small window will display the driver's status.
On the Classic Windows Shell, the full size icon can show the driver status.
Additional tablet support
-------------------------
This driver now supports the SummaSketch II, and III Professional Plus series
tablets.
You can override the tablet's resolution for unusual tablet configurations.
This may be needed in some unusual circumstances with very large format
tablets. This feature is used by setting the "Resolution" variable in the
tablet specific section of the WINTAB32.INI file. The "Resolution" variable
is specified in lines per inch.
Jump in version numbers
-----------------------
The current version of this driver is 01.00.40.00. The previous version of
this driver was 01.00.30.00. The jump in version numbers reflects the
incorporation of many internal changes of this driver.

Configuring the driver
======================
Configuration and setup of the software to access your
appropriately configured tablet consists of selecting 4 fields
in the "Bentley Tablet Driver" dialog box. The steps are as follows:
1) Run "wintab.exe" by double clicking on it from the
File Manager or the Explorer, or entering "wintab" or "start wintab"
in a Windows NT or Windows 95 DOS shell.
2) Select your specific tablet from the list above.
3) Select the tablet dimensions.
4) Select the number of buttons on your tablet's puck.
5) Select the "COM" port that the tablet is attached.
6) Click on the "OK" push button.
Testing the tablet and configuration:
1) Run "wintab.exe" by double clicking on it from the
File Manager or the Explorer, or entering "wintab" or "start wintab"
in a Windows NT or Windows 95 DOS shell.
2) Move the puck around the tablet.
3) The screen pointer should track the motion of the puck.
4) If the screen pointer does not track the puck motion, please
read the Trouble Shooting section below.
The tablet is now ready to be used with MicroStation.
=============================
End of Configuring the driver
=============================
=======================================
Compatibility with other WINTAB drivers
=======================================
Only one WINTAB driver can control a serial port at a time. If you
wish to use this driver in conjunction with any other Windows pointing
device, plug your digitizer into another serial port. You will be able
to use either driver by plugging your digitizer into the appropriate
serial port. However, some drivers attempt to probe both serial ports.
If your current driver does this, it must be completely disabled or
removed from your system.
================
Trouble Shooting
================
-----------------------------
Conflicts with other software
-----------------------------
The vast majority of problems reported with this driver are actually
machine specific configuration errors. You must insure that no other
software is using the serial port that you want to use with the
digitizer. You must disable other applications such as FAX drivers,
other Wintab drivers, dial-up networking, serial mouse drivers,
and terminal emulators from accessing the serial port that is connected
to the digitizer.
To insure that no other software is using the serial ports on Windows NT
invoke the "Control Panel/Services" and "Stop" and "Startup/Disable" any
other tablet driver software.
Invoke the "Control Panel->Devices" and "Stop" and "Startup/Disable" any
other tablet driver software. Likely candidates are those device names
beginning with "wt". Check that the "Serial" device status is "Started"
and "Automatic". Check that the "Sermouse" device status is "Disabled"
unless you have a serial mouse connected to any of the COM ports.
Windows 95 may install the "InfraRed Device" driver to service a serial
port. This IRd driver must be disabled to use this Wintab driver on
that port.
------------------------------
Windows system without a mouse
------------------------------
This driver is not intended to be used in systems as the only system
pointing device. A mouse must be attached to the computer to
insure that the system cursor is visible in all windows on the desktop.
This is a limitation of Windows and not the Bentley Digitizer Tablet
Driver.
-------------------------------
Individual tablet peculiarities
-------------------------------
Wireless Pucks:
---------------
Most tablets with wireless pucks tablets will "go to sleep" if the puck is
not used for a while. This include CalComp DrawingBoard series and
SummaSketch series tablers. Under most circumstances, pressing any button
on the puck while in proximity will "awaken" the tablet.
If this does not work, and you are using a CalComp DrawingBoard series
tablet, try pressing the "0" button twice while the cross-hair is over
the "Config/Exit" area on the tablet.
UIOF Protocol Variations:
-------------------------
The Summagraphics SummaSketch Professional Plus line of digitizers have a
variety of internal firmware that implements neither accurately nor completely
the UIOF command standard. To ameliorate this situation, this driver provides
the following choices for UIOF protocol tablets:
- Summagraphics MM 1812 (UIOF Format)
- Summagraphics SummaSketch series with 12 or 16 button puck
- Summagraphics SummaSketch II Professional Plus
- Summagraphics Microgrid and Summagrid Tablet
- Altek AC30 (Alternate ROM)
Unfortunately, there is no way to automatically determine all variations in
tablet firmware and which configuration will yield the best results with your
particular tablet. You may have to try each tablet option until you achieve
satisfactory operations.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Mouse emulation buttons and MicroStation's "Command" button
-----------------------------------------------------------
If a button on the puck is assigned a function such as "Right Click"
or "Left Click" in "System Mouse Emulation context", you can not use
that button for MicroStation's "Command" button.
It is best to set one button on the puck to "Left Click", another
to "Right Click", and the rest to "Application Defined". This is the
default button mapping. We recommend that you select the button that
you want to use for the Data button in MicroStation to "Left Click"
and the button you want to use for the Reset button in MicroStation to the
"Right Click" function.
What follows are specific scenarios and what should be done in order
to make sure that things work properly.
Case 1:
Suppose that WINTAB is told that the digitizer has a 4 button puck.
WINTAB knows by the tablet name and the number of buttons that the
1
buttons are arranged as 2 4. Further suppose that the operator
3
sets the screen mapping portion of the tablet (using MicroStation's
"Digitizer Partition" command) to the entire surface of the digitizer.
The operator also attaches a MicroStation command menu. Notice that
the two areas overlap. The screen mapping portion of the tablet utilizes
the "System Mouse Emulation context", which has the highest priority for
buttons that are mapped to system buttons like "Left" and "Right".
Therefore, when such buttons are pressed, they come to MicroStation as
Windows events in screen coordinates in the System Mouse Emulation context.
Since MicroStation therefore doesn't get the digitizer coordinates, it cannot
determine if you have a command in your menu at the cursor position or not.
Since the System Mouse Emulation context (screen mapping portion) overlaps
the entire menu, the menu appears not to work at all.

Case 2:
Partial overlap: In this configuration, if a button assigned to a system
function is designated as the Command button, it will work fine outside
of the area marked "1" in the diagram below, but will fail to select commands
from the tablet while in that area.

Case 3:
No overlap: Assume that the screen mapping region is area "1", and
the MicroStation menu is attached in area "2". These areas do not overlap.
Therefore, even if you have designated a button assigned to a system function
as the Command button, it will work OK. However, if you move either the menu or the
screen mapping region such that they overlap, you will have problems as mentioned
in Case 1 and Case 2 above.

Assigning the Mouse Emulation buttons
-------------------------------------
This example demonstrates reassigning the mouse emulation functions.
Although this example uses a 12 button puck the sequence presented
is applicable to all cursor arrangements.
Perhaps you have a puck with a circular button arrangement. The default
arrangement is:
(1) (3)
D --- R
/ 2 \
12 / \ 4
| 11 5 |
10 \ / 6
\ 8 /
9 --- 7
However, you have traditionally used the following arrangement:
1 --- 3
/ D \
12 / \ 4
| C R |
10 \ / 6
\ T /
9 --- 7
Where:
'D' is the Data command
'R' is the Reset command
'C' is the Command command
'T' is the Tentative command
and the rest of the buttons are either assigned other commands
or unassigned.
Changing the assignments from the default configuration to your preferred
configuration is listed below. First the buttons must be assigned
using the Wintab dialog and then in MicroStation.
The procedure is as follows:
1) Start the Bentley Tablet Driver
2) Select "Configure Mouse Emulator"
3) Select "Configure Buttons"
4) Click on "Button #1" in the "Physical Button" list box
5) Click on "Application defined function" in the "Action" list box
6) Click on "Button #3" in the "Physical Button" list box
7) Click on "Application defined function" in the "Action" list box
Note: At this point there should be a Bentley "B" preceding each line
in the "Physical Button" list box.
8) Click on "Button #2" in the "Physical Button" list box
9) Click on "Left click" in the "Action" list box
10) Click on "Button #5" in the "Physical Button" list box
11) Click on "Right click" in the "Action" list box
Note: At this point there should not be a Bentley "B" on the lines
for buttons number 2 and 5.
12) Press the "OK" button in the "Wintab Button Configure" dialog
13) Check "Save as default" in the "Configure Tablet Context" dialog
14) Press the "OK" button in the "Configure Tablet Context" dialog
15) Press the "OK" button "Bentley Tablet Driver" dialog
16) Start the Bentley Tablet Driver
17) Press the "Close" button "Bentley Tablet Driver" dialog
Note: At this point you have successfully changed the "Right click" and
"Left click" events from buttons 1 and 3 to 2 and 5.
18) Start MicroStation
19) Click on "Workspace->Button Assignments.."
20) Press the "Default" button in the "Button Assignments" dialog
21) Select "Tentative"
22) Press button #8 on the puck when the cursor is in the
"Button Definition Area".
23) Select "Command"
24) Press button #11 on the puck when the cursor is in the
"Button Definition Area".
Note: Due to the large variety of tablets, pucks, and drivers combinations
MicroStation does not attempt to display the actual button number.
MicroStation will display a synthesized button number in the
"Invoked by" column.
25) Repeat steps 23 and 24 for each button and function pair that you
wish to set.
26) Press the "OK" button when finished.

----------
Windows 95
----------
The following are known problems with Windows 95:
1) Each time Windows 95 boot, it scans for devices attached to serial
ports. Windows 95 will disable the communications port attached to
the tablet if that tablet is on and reporting while Windows 95 is
starting. This is caused by Windows 95 Plug and Play enumeration
facility and is something that Microsoft knows about.
The only solution is to not allow Windows 95 to "hear" the digitizer.
You can achieve this effect by one of the following ways:
- Turn off power to the digitizer while Windows 95 is booting,
- Unplug the serial (or COM) port cable while Windows 95 is booting, or
- Some tablets will stop reporting while the puck is out tablet
proximity. Try booting Windows 95 with the puck off the
tablet's surface.
2) Windows 95 may install the "InfraRed Device" driver to service a serial port.
This IRd driver must be disabled to use this Wintab driver on that port.

Appendix B - Smart Puck Filter
==============================
You can control this feature by selecting the folowing buttons from the
"Bentley Tablet Driver" dialog box:
"Advanced..."
"Smart Puck Filter..."
This dialog box provides a convenient way of changing the 5 entries in the
WINTAB32.INI that control the Smart Puck Filter's behavior:
NoMotionXFilter
NoMotionYFilter
The distance that the puck must move to switch the driver from
filtered mode to normal mode. While in filtered mode, any puck movement
within the area defined by these settings is ignored. These numbers
represent a distance in the X and Y coordinates and are valued in
digitizer resolution units. Digitizer resolutions expected by this
driver are 200, 500, or 1000 units per inch.
The following list of digitizers report in 200 units per inch:
GTCO MD-7
Summagraphics Bit Pad Series
The following list of digitizers report in 500 units per inch:
Altek AC30 (Alternate ROM)
Altek AC30 (Standard ROM)
GTCO Ultima and SketchMaster
Summagraphics MicroGrid and Sumagrid Tablets
Summagraphics MM 1812 (MM Format) & FX Series
Summagraphics MM 1812 (UIOF Format)
Summagraphics SummaSketch series with 12 or 16 button puck
Summagraphics SummaSketch II and III Professional Plus series
The following list of digitizers report in 1000 units per inch:
Altek AC40 Controller
Calcomp DrawingBoards & 9000, 9100 Series
GTCO Digipad Series and Roll-Up Series
Intergraph Menu Tablet
Intergraph Menu Tablet 1813 & XLC Series
Kurta Series TWO, IS/ONE, ADB and XGT Series
Numonics 2200 Series
Scriptel SPD or SPC Series
Summagraphics MM 1201 and Compatibles
Therefore if you have a 1000 units per inch digitizer and you want the
mode switch to occur when you move the puck 1/2 inch in any direction,
set both NoMotionXFilter and NoMotionYFilter to 500.
NoMotionTimerFilter
The minimum time that must pass before filtered mode is entered. This
time is in milliseconds. Therefor a 5 second delay will be entered as
5000.
NoMotionIconChange
NoMotionTitleChange
These variables control the effects on the driver's icon when a mode
switch occurs. Normally, the driver's icon will switch from blue to
red to indicate filtered mode. Setting NoMotionIconChange=0 disables
this notification. Setting NoMotionTitleChange=0 disables the title
change of the icon. Normally the default behavior is desired and these
variables are not set in the WINTAB32.INI file.
Example modification:
You should issue the command "notepad %windir%\wintab32.ini" to modify
the file.
Suppose that your existing WINTAB32.INI file consists of the following:
[Config]
window=1
tablet=DP5
[DP5]
cursor=16
arrangement=0
width=17
height=11
[COM Port]
PORT=2
To enable a 1 inch filter zone that activates no sooner then 3 seconds
after the puck stops moving, add the following:
[Config]
window=1
tablet=DP5
[DP5]
NoMotionXFilter=500
NoMotionYFilter=500
NoMotionTimerFilter=3000
cursor=16
arrangement=0
width=17
height=11
[COM Port]
PORT=2
To enable a 0.05 inch filter zone to remove puck jitter, add the following:
[Config]
window=1
tablet=DP5
[DP5]
NoMotionXFilter=5
NoMotionYFilter=5
NoMotionTimerFilter=3
cursor=16
arrangement=0
width=17
height=11
[COM Port]
PORT=2
