3M Touch Systems, Inc. Proprietary Information 

Table 3  Firmware Commands for RX182 Development 

Command  

Code  

Description 

Calibrate 3 Point 

C3 

Initiates a 3-point calibration routine. 

Enter Sleep 

ES 

Controller enters low power mode.  

Format Tablet 

FT 

Outputs the X/Y touch coordinate data in a five-byte 
packet.  

Get Controller 
Number 

Q002 

Used to determine a controller ID number for multiple 
monitor applications. 

Mode Stream 

MS 

Sends a continuous stream of X/Y coordinate data when 
you touch the sensor. 

Null Command 

Queries the controller and waits for a response. 

Output Identity 

OI 

Identifies the controller type and the firmware version. 

Reset 

Initializes the hardware and the firmware, causes the 
controller to stop sending data, and recalculates the 
environmental conditions. 

Restore Defaults 

RD 

Returns the controller to the factory default operating 
parameters. Note: the serial port is reset to N81 format 
tablet and calibration data is lost. 

Set Controller 
Number 

W002 

Used to determine a controller ID number for multiple 
monitor applications. 

Unit Type 

UT 

Returns controller unit type string and status.  

Calibrate 3 Point 

Syntax:

 

<SOH>

C3

<CR> 

Response:

 

<SOH>

0

<CR> 

Positive response to initializing the command. When C3 is first 

issued the controller responds with <SOH>

0

<CR>. After that, as the user touches each of 

the three targets, the controller issues an <SOH>

1

<CR>. 

<SOH>

1

<CR> 

Positive touch response. 

A valid touch coordinate (point) response (‘1’) signifies that a touch coordinate was 
detected and is in range of the expected sensor target area.  Three valid point responses 
indicate successful calibration. 

<SOH>

0

<CR> 

Negative touch response.   

An invalid touch coordinate (point) response (‘0’) is returned if the touch coordinate is 
out of range. If either calibration point is invalid, the touch coordinates are discarded and 
the calibration points remain unchanged from their previous values. If you receive a 
negative response, you must start over again. 

<SOH>

2

<CR> 

Negative touch response.  

An invalid touch coordinate (point) response (‘2’) is returned if the user did not touch the 
target long enough to provide an accurate calibration point. 

Description:

 

Initiates an interactive 3-point calibration.
