Wakeup

Wakeup is a function that automatically puts the ClassPad into data communication standby whenever the ClassPad detects data coming in from an external device connected to the 3-pin port of the ClassPad. 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. Note that wakeup does not operate on the receiver device when any ongoing calculation or graphing operation is being performed. Wakeup activates when the ongoing operation is complete.
