Tip

For more information about the communication parameter, see “Communication Dialog Box” on page 1-9-15.

Wakeup

Wakeup is a function that automatically puts the ClassPad into data communication standby whenever the ClassPad detects data coming in from a connected external device, or when a USB cable is attached to the ClassPad. You can turn wakeup on or off with the [Wakeup Enable] setting on the Communication dialog box described on page 1-9-15. What happens when wakeup is turned on depends on the type of device connected to the ClassPad.

kWhen connected to another ClassPad unit

When the sending device performs a data send operation, the receiver device’s wakeup function activates and data receive is performed automatically. The receiver device operates normally as long as no data is being received.

In this configuration, wakeup does not operate on the receiver device when any one of the following three conditions exists.

When any setting other than “3pin cable” is selected for [Cable Type] on the Communication dialog box.

When any ongoing calculation or graphing operation is being performed. Wakeup activates when the ongoing operation is complete.

When the ClassPad is completely powered down. For details, see “1-2 Turning Power On and Off ”
