ABSTRACT:
One digitizer grid pattern is used for each of two coordinate axes, i.e. X and Y. Each grid pattern is used for coarse and fine digitizing to determine cursor positioning on each respective axis. Th digitizer has two basic modes of operation which relate to digitally representing the position of a cursor on a grid pattern. The first mode is for coarse digitizing designed to identify the position of the cursor within 11/2 grid lines of its actual position on the grid. The second mode is the fine digitizing mode which is operative to positively locate the cursor at its actual position within a triad of grid lines which have been identified through the coarse digitizing operation. Both modes are operative for each of the two axes. For coarse digitizing, a sequential line-to-line pulsing technique is applied. For fine digitizing, a pulsed three phase system is utilized and any odd multiple of three grid lines.
