Chapter 2  
Configuring the Point 510 Pen Tablet System  
This chapter provides instructions on how to use various configuration utilities developed to support the  
Point 510 pen tablet.  
About BIOS Settings  
2
Some BIOS configuration utilities allow you to select permanent or current settings when configuring  
some BIOS options. BIOS settings reside in the system’s CMOS memory. When the system is powered on,  
BIOS settings are copied into the system’s dynamic memory and the system runs using BIOS parameters  
stored in dynamic memory. Settings in dynamic memory are referred to as “current” settings and settings  
stored in CMOS memory are referred to as “permanent” settings.  
When you change a permanent setting, BIOS parameters stored in CMOS memory are changed and the  
new setting is applied after the system is restarted. When you change a current setting, BIOS parameters  
stored in dynamic memory are changed and the new setting is applied for the duration of the current  
session. (A change to the current setting only remains in effect until the system is rebooted.)  
Windows 95 Audit Mode  
2
Windows 95 (as preinstalled on the Point 510 pen tablet) is preconfigured for the pen tablet system. The  
first time the system is started, the User Information screen is displayed along with a series of “first-run”  
screens for the end user to perform such tasks as entering User/ Company name, Certificate of  
Authenticity, and End User License Acceptance information. After this information is entered and the  
system is shut down, the User Information and first-run screens are not displayed when the system is  
started in subsequent sessions. Windows 95 allows you to bypass the first-run screens and run the system  
in audit mode. In audit mode, you can change system configuration settings, perform additional system  
checks and tests, and install hardware and software without altering the Windows 95 license agreement  
and registration process that is performed only once when the system is started for the first time by the  
end user.  
2-1  
                 
To invoke audit mode, attach a keyboard to your system and perform the following steps:  
1. Boot the system. When the User Information screen is displayed, press the key combination  
CTRL-SHIFT-F3 on the keyboard. This displays a License screen. Choose Accept to continue. After you  
accept the license, a menu of auditing options appears. The following auditing modes are available:  
• Nonrestorative Auditing  
In this mode, any changes you make to Windows during your audit session are retained after you  
end your audit session. (Key system files such as the registry and AUTOEXEC.BAT are not  
restored to their pre-audit state.) This is the auditing mode that you will most commonly use to  
preconfigure the system before it reaches the end user.  
• Partial Restorative Auditing  
In this mode, key system files such as the registry and AUTOEXEC.BAT are restored to their  
pre-audit state after you end your audit session. New files that you copy to the system remain on  
the system after you end your audit session. This mode is useful for demonstration and test  
purposes.  
Note: Your system must have an AUTOEXEC.BAT file in the C:\ (root) directory on the hard disk  
drive to use Partial Restorative auditing mode. If this file does not exist on your system, an  
error message indicating “The disk labeled root directory is now required...” will be displayed  
when you attempt to use Partial Restorative auditing mode. If this occurs, you can shut down  
and restart your system, perform this procedure again, and choose Nonrestorative Auditing.  
Once you are in nonrestorative auditing mode, you can create an AUTOEXEC.BAT file if  
desired to allow partial restorative auditing in your next audit session. (The AUTOEXEC.BAT  
file can be an empty file.)  
• Simulate End User Experience (Full Restorative Auditing)  
In this mode, the entire system is fully restored to its pre-audit state after you end your audit  
session. Any changes that you make to system files and any new files copied to the system are not  
retained. This mode is most useful for performing extensive system checks including testing  
software and hardware installation procedures.  
2. Choose the desired auditing mode and tap OK. (Changes you make to Windows during the audit  
session will be retained when you choose non-restorative auditing.)  
3. When the Enter Windows Password screen is displayed, press Esc. (Do not enter a password.)  
4. The system is now in audit mode. You can now make any desired changes to the system configuration,  
install hardware, software, or perform system tests.  
5. When you are finished auditing the system, tap the Shutdown button in the OEM Reset Reminder  
dialog box.  
The system is now shut down and Windows 95 software licensing screens will appear in their  
first-time-run state when the system is started. Note that you can invoke audit mode as many times as  
desired, however, once the Certificate of Authenticity information is entered, you can no longer invoke  
audit mode. For further details on configuring Windows 95, refer to the documents listed in “Related  
Documentation” in the About This Manual section of this guide.  
BIOS Setup  
2
BIOS Setup is a configuration utility that you can use to change your system’s permanent BIOS settings.  
The BIOS Setup application is stored in ROM. Instructions for starting and running BIOS Setup are given  
in the following discussions. (Note that BIOS Setup is also referred to as PenSetup in some related  
documentation.)

Point 510 Setup is a control panel application that allows you to configure several BIOS options. To run  
Point 510 Setup,  
1. Open the Control Panel and double-tap on the Point 510 Setup icon shown here.  
A series of tab property sheets listing options that you can configure is displayed.  
2. Configure options on each property sheet as desired. Unless otherwise indicated on the property  
sheet, all settings that you configure using Point 510 Setup affect permanent BIOS settings. For details  
on options and settings on each property sheet, tap the Help button on the property sheet. Also note  
that possible settings for these options are the same as the corresponding options in BIOS Setup. Refer  
to the BIOS Setup options described earlier in this chapter for details on how settings for these options  
affect your system.  
3. Tap OK to apply your changes and exit Point 510 Setup when you are finished making changes. (You  
can also tap Apply to apply your changes without exiting Point 510 Setup.)  
4. Shutdown and restart the system to activate changes to permanent BIOS settings.  
The system is now configured using changes you made with Point 510 Setup.  
Using PM Setup  
2
PM Setup is a power management application that runs under Windows. You use PM Setup to create  
power management “profiles” that the system will use under different power conditions. You can create  
a separate profile for each of the following power conditions:  
• AC Mode  
The system is connected to an external power source such as the AC adapter or auto adapter.  
• Normal Battery Mode  
The system is operating on battery power with greater than 10%* battery charge remaining.  
• Low Battery Mode  
The system is operating on battery power with 10%* or lower battery charge remaining.  
*
The actual threshold (in terms of a percentage of battery charge) at which the system changes from  
Normal to Low Battery mode may vary slightly.  
If you create power management profiles using PM Setup, the profiles you create are used only while PM  
Setup is running.  
2-14  
Configuring the Point 510 Pen Tablet System  
       
Note: • Windows for Workgroups users: Your system’s power settings must be set to Advanced or Standard  
mode before power management profiles created in PM Setup are utilized. To do so, double-tap the  
Power icon in the Control Panel and select Advanced or Standard in the Power Management field.  
(If Standard is selected, the Suspend button in PM Setup is disabled and cannot be used to suspend  
system operation. Suspend timeout features and the Suspend button on the pen tablet still function  
normally however.)  
• Windows 95 users: Activity generated by disk drive settings in Windows 95 Power Properties may be  
detected by the BIOS as system activity and prevent the Suspend Timeout from working properly. To  
ensure proper operation, disable the disk drive timeouts in Windows 95 Power Properties. To do so,  
open Power in Control Panel, select the Disk Drives tab in the Power Properties window, and ensure  
that all disk drive low power mode options are disabled (unchecked). Apply your changes and close the  
Power Properties window when finished.  
• Windows 95 users: Before power management settings in PM Setup can be utilized, Windows power  
management must be enabled. To do so, ensure that the Allow Windows to manage power use on  
this computer option is selected in the Power Properties Control Panel applet.  
• The initialization file for PM Setup is PMSET51.INI. This file contains the initialization strings for  
settings used in low battery mode and AC mode. (This file does not affect settings for normal mode as  
settings for normal mode are stored directly in the BIOS. Also, this file is not designed to be edited  
directly, however, it can be copied to a given system for the purpose of configuring the system.)  
To use PM Setup,  
1. Start PM Setup. To do so, choose one of the following:  
• Windows 95 users: Double-tap the PM Setup icon (shown below) on your system desktop.  
• Windows for Workgroups users: Open the Point 510 program group and double-tap the PM  
Setup icon (shown below).  
This runs the PM Setup program file PMSET51.EXE. (Note that this icon may be named Pmset51 or  
Power Management depending on the version preinstalled on your system.)  
When PM Setup is running, the PM Setup program bar is displayed. The PM Setup program bar  
(shown here) is displayed as a Gauge icon that indicates the battery pack charge level remaining. A  
Power Plug icon is displayed in the PM Setup program bar to indicate when the system is connected to  
AC power.  
(Less) Charge Remaining (More)

• AC Mode Settings  
Tap on this button to display the AC Power Savings window. This window allows you to define  
the power management profile used when an external power source is connected to the system.  
• Low Battery Mode Settings  
Tap on this button to display the Low Battery Power Savings window. This window allows you to  
define the power management profile used when the system is running on battery power (no  
external power is connected) and the battery charge is below 10%.  
• Normal Battery Mode Settings  
Tap on this button to display the Normal Battery Power Savings window. This window allows  
you to define the power management profile used when the system is running on battery power  
(no external power is connected) and the battery charge is 10% or higher.  
• Help  
Opens the PM Setup Help window.  
4. Tap on the appropriate PM Setup button to perform the desired function or configure power  
management settings.  
For more details on how to use these functions and commands, see the appropriate topic in the PM Setup  
Help window or tap the Help button in the PM Setup window that is currently displayed.

Configuring the Point 510 Pen Tablet System  
 
Using PENSET51  
2
PENSET51 is an MS-DOS program that allows you to configure BIOS settings using the command  
PENSET51. You can run PENSET51 in one of two modes: menu mode or command line mode. Running  
PENSET51 in menu mode displays options and settings in pen-active menu screens (nearly identical to  
BIOS Setup).  
To run PENSET51 in command line mode, you type the command PENSET51 followed by command line  
options that specify the BIOS settings that you want to configure. When you press Enter, PENSET51  
configures the BIOS settings and exits, returning you to the MS-DOS command line. (You can also create  
a batch file containing PENSET51 commands that configures BIOS settings.)  
PENSET51 supports the pen as an input device in menu mode. A keyboard is required to run PENSET51  
from the MS-DOS command line. (Note that if a keyboard is unavailable, you can use the Windows  
control panel applet Point 510 Setup to configure BIOS settings. See “Using Point 510 Setup” earlier in this  
manual for details.)  
Running PENSET51 in Menu Mode  
2
To run PENSET51 in menu mode,  
1. Start your system in MS-DOS mode. (Note that PENSET51 can be run in menu mode in an MS-DOS  
box, however when you do so, you will not be able to use the pen. It is recommended that you restart  
your system in MS-DOS mode to run PENSET51.)  
2. Set the path to the directory C:\ WINDOWS\ COMMAND\ POINT510.  
3. Type PENSET51 and press Enter.  
The Setup Program for Point 510 screen is displayed.  
4. Tap on the menu bar at the top of the screen to navigate to the desired menus and change BIOS  
settings.  
Options for permanent and current settings are listed in separate columns. Most options are only  
available for permanent BIOS settings. Note that changes to current settings will not take affect until  
you exit PENSET51. Tap once directly on the settings to select the desired option. Tap again on the  
selected setting to change the setting to the next value.  
You can also use the arrow keys on an external keyboard to navigate to the desired option and press  
the Space key or plus (+) key to increase the setting, or minus (-) key to decrease the setting.  
Note that the command line syntax for the selected option is displayed at the bottom of the screen. For  
more details on command line options, see “Running PENSET51 in Command Line Mode” later in this  
section.  
5. When you are finished making changes to the BIOS, choose Exit from the menu bar and tap on the  
appropriate command (or select the command using the arrow keys on your keyboard and press  
Enter).  
Using PENSET51  
2-17  
       
Running PENSET51 in Command Line Mode  
2
To run PENSET51 in command line mode,  
1. Start your system in MS-DOS mode.  
2. Set the path to the directory C:\ WINDOWS\ COMMAND\ POINT510.  
3. Type the command PENSET51 followed by the desired parameters using the following syntax,  
PENSET51 [option=setting][/P][/C]  
where option and setting are the mnemonic symbols for the desired PENSET51 parameters listed in  
Table 2-9. (Brackets indicate that the parameter is optional.) Switches /P and /C allow you to specify  
permanent or current BIOS settings respectively. You can specify several parameters on the same  
command line. To do so, place a comma between each parameter. (Do not exceed the maximum  
MS-DOS command length of 127 characters, including spaces.) For example, the following command  
sets the display device to LCD for the current session and turns the speaker off in permanent BIOS  
settings.  
PENSET51DISP=L/C,SPK=N  
The / P or / C switch applies only to the immediately preceding setting in the command line. If you do  
not type the / P or / C switch, the permanent BIOS setting is changed. (Note that the / P and / C  
switches are mutually exclusive. Only one of these switches can be used per setting. Also, note that  
some BIOS options can only be applied to permanent settings.)  
4. When all desired options and settings are typed on the command line, press Enter to run PENSET51.  
When the PENSET51 command is complete, the following message is displayed.  
Configurationcomplete.  
The following table lists PENSET51 parameters and the BIOS settings that they configure. These BIOS  
options are the same as those for BIOS Setup. Refer to “BIOS Setup” earlier in this chapter for detailed  
descriptions of corresponding BIOS options listed in this table.

Configuring the Point 510 Pen Tablet System  
Running MFG510  
2
MFG510 is a BIOS configuration program for the Point 510 pen tablet that runs from the MS-DOS  
command line. You run MFG510 by executing commands at the MS-DOS prompt. (You can also create a  
batch file containing MFG510 commands that configures BIOS settings.)  
Note that MFG510 is not preinstalled on the pen tablet system and is distributed with Point 510 Developer  
Utilities software. MFG510 can only be used to change permanent BIOS settings.  
To run MFG510,  
1. Start your system in MS-DOS mode. (In most cases, you should run MFG510 from an MS-DOS  
bootable diskette.)  
2. Type the command MFG510 followed by the desired parameters using the following syntax,  
MFG510 [option=setting]  
where option and setting are the mnemonic symbols for the desired MFG510 parameters listed in Table  
2-10. (Brackets indicate that the parameter is optional.) You can specify several parameters on the same  
command line. To do so, place a comma between each parameter. (Do not exceed the maximum  
MS-DOS command line length of 127 characters, including spaces.) For example, the following  
command sets the display device to LCD and turns the speaker off.  
MFG510DISP=L,SPK=N  
3. When all desired options and settings are typed on the command line, press Enter to run MFG510.  
When the MFG510 command is complete, the following message is displayed:  
Configurationcomplete.  
Table 2-10 lists MFG510 parameters and the BIOS settings that they configure. To see a list of MFG510  
parameters displayed on your system, type the command MFG510 and press Return (without specifying  
any parameters). These BIOS options are the same as those described earlier for BIOS Setup. Refer to  
“BIOS Setup” earlier in this chapter for detailed descriptions of corresponding BIOS options listed in this  
table. (You may notice that some of these parameters are the same as those for PENSET51.)

Installing System Components  
           
To install DIMMs in the Point 510 pen tablet,  
1. Run BIOS Setup and configure the system for the type of memory you intend to install. To do so, in the  
BIOS Setup Main menu, choose either EDO or Fast Page for the Expansion-slot 1 Memory option and  
Expansion-slot 2 Memory option. You can install either EDO- or Fast Page-type memory in either slot.  
(A combination of EDO- and Fast Page-type memory is allowable as long as the appropriate type is  
selected for the respective slot.)  
2. Shut down the pen tablet. To do so, choose one of the following:  
• Windows for Workgroups users: Close Program Manager and choose Power Down from the  
Exit Windows dialog box.  
• Windows 95 users: Choose Shut Down from the Start menu and carry out the Shut Down  
command.  
Caution

When a DC power source is connected to the port replicator or cradle module, the port replicator filters  
DC power and provides protection against reverse polarity at the DC input before DC power is supplied  
to the pen tablet via the system interface port. A fuse built into the port replicator provides circuit  
overload protection. This fuse is not user serviceable. (Circuitry built into the pen tablet provides  
protection against reverse polarity.)

Serial Ports  
6
Serial port A is a fully functional RS-232-C serial port. Serial port B provides receive and transmit (Rx/ Tx)  
functionality only. Note the following with respect to using the serial ports:  
• The serial port A connector on the pen tablet is duplicated by the serial port A connector on  
connectivity peripherals. Do not use the connector on the pen tablet while using the connector on your  
connectivity peripheral.  
• To enable the serial port B connector, the Serial Port B Device option in BIOS Setup must be set to  
System Interface Port and the Serial Port B option must be enabled.  
Both serial port connectors are male 9-pin D connectors. Pin assignments for the serial port connectors are  
shown in Table 6-4.

Power System Overview  
7
The Point 510 pen tablet can be powered by the system’s battery pack or by an external DC power source  
such as the AC adapter. When the system is not connected to external power, system power is provided  
by the battery pack.  
In Suspend mode, a built-in bridge battery maintains power to RAM if the battery pack is removed. Note  
that the bridge battery can only provide power in suspend mode. The bridge battery is charged when  
external power is supplied to the system or when the system is running on battery power. (The bridge  
battery is not charged when the system is suspended and external power is not supplied.) Refer to the  
Point 510 User’s Guide for details on charging the battery pack and battery charge status indicated by the  
Status lights on the pen tablet.  
External DC Power  
7
External DC power can be supplied to the pen tablet via the following locations:  
• The DC power connector on the pen tablet  
• The high-usage contacts on the pen tablet  
• A third-party peripheral which supplies DC power via the system interface port  
A DC power source connected to any of these inputs must provide a minimum of 2.7 amps and a  
continuous DC voltage of 16 volts.  
Power Management  
7
Power management features relating to system hardware are discussed in the following section. For  
details on using BIOS Setup and other system configuration utilities, refer to Chapter 2.  
The Point 510 pen tablet is compliant with them Advanced Power Management (APM) BIOS Interface  
Specification Revision 1.2. The following discussions describe the implementation of this specification on  
the Point 510 pen tablet system and assumes some familiarity with this specification. Refer to the APM  
BIOS Interface Specification for details on the specification not covered here.  
The system manages power consumption by performing transitions between different system power  
states or modes. State transitions can be triggered by timeouts and other types of system activity. Figure  
7-2 shows system power states, transition paths and events that trigger a transition from one state to the  
next. You can configure the Point 510 pen tablet to utilize some or all of these states by setting power  
management options in BIOS Setup or by changing your Windows system power settings.  
7-2  
System Power  
           
System Power States  
7
At any given time, the system operates in one of the following five general system power states:  
• Full On  
• Idle or APM Enabled  
• Standby or APM Standby  
• Suspend or APM Suspend  
• Off  
State transitions and power managed devices are controlled by either the BIOS or the APM driver. Power  
management features that are not controlled by the APM driver remain under the control of the BIOS.  
Also, note that power usage for individual devices, such as the hard disk drive, can vary within these  
general states depending on timeout settings for the device.  
System operation in Standby and APM Standby states is essentially the same (as is system operation in  
Suspend and APM Suspend). CPU operation differs, however, between the Idle and APM Enabled states  
depending on whether the BIOS or the APM driver is controlling state transitions. See “CPU Activity in  
Idle Mode and APM Enabled Mode” later in this chapter for more details.  
System Power States  
7-3  
   
Figure 7-2 illustrates power management modes during typical operation. Low battery charge levels and  
system temperature (conditions which are not called out in this illustration) also affect power  
management states and are explained later in this chapter.

Power Management States and BIOS Configuration Options  
7
7
7
When the BIOS controls state transitions, the system power states utilized depend on how power  
management options are configured in the BIOS. BIOS options that affect each state are described in the  
following sections. For a comprehensive listing of BIOS configuration options and details on using BIOS  
Setup and other configuration utilities, refer to Chapter 2.  
Timeouts  
Transitions to the Idle, Standby, and Suspend states are configured through timeouts in the BIOS. (A  
timeout is the period of time that elapses with no activity before the transition occurs.) In addition to  
overall system power states, power for some devices can be individually managed through timeouts  
configured in the BIOS such as the hard disk drive spin-down timeout.  
Full On State  
In the Full On state, all devices are fully powered and the CPU runs at full speed. The system is in the  
Full On state whenever user activity is detected. The system will remain in the Full On state until an  
event such as the idle mode timeout or a suspend request occurs. Note that if idle and standby modes are  
not utilized (timeouts not selected in BIOS Setup), the system will remain in the Full On state until an  
event such as a suspend request causes a transition out of the Full On state.  
Power Management States and BIOS Configuration Options  
7-5  
         
CPU Activity in Idle Mode and APM Enabled Mode  
7
CPU activity differs in the BIOS controlled Idle mode compared to the APM Enabled mode. When the  
BIOS is controlling power management, the CPU speed is reduced to 1/ 4 of full speed when the Idle  
Mode Timeout occurs. In APM Enabled mode, the CPU is stopped when a CPU-idle request is issued by  
the APM driver.  
In Idle mode, the internal CPU clock is “throttled” or periodically switched on and off to achieve a slower  
CPU speed. This is done by switching the Stop Grant signal on and off. Table 7-3 shows the activity of  
these signals in Idle mode and APM Enabled mode. (The first dotted line in each column of this table  
indicates when the timeout occurs and the mode is entered.) If user activity generates an interrupt, the  
system returns to the Full On state (CPU running at full speed) until all pending instructions are  
executed. If the Idle Mode option is disabled in the BIOS, the CPU will not enter Idle mode.

This table does not depict a precise timing diagram. The illustrations given  
in this table are intended to show the relative characteristic activity of these  
signals.  
Standby Mode  
7
Standby mode is entered when the Standby Mode Timeout (configured in BIOS Setup) occurs. In Standby  
mode, the CPU’s internal clock is stopped (stopping the CPU) as indicated in Table 7-4. Any user activity  
that generates an interrupt will cause a transition out of the Standby state to the Full On state. The hard  
disk drive is forced into standby mode (spun down) and the display is turned off when the standby mode  
timeout occurs.

7-6  
System Power  
           
Suspend Mode  
7
In Suspend mode, power is maintained to RAM, video memory, and resume circuitry while other system  
circuitry and power managed devices are turned off. In normal operation, system operation is suspended  
when the Suspend Timeout expires, the Power button is pressed, or a suspend request is generated by a  
software application or the APM driver. Pressing the Power button will cause the system to resume  
operation and enter the Full On state.  
Note: A critically low battery or the system temperature reaching the critical thermal limit will also force the  
system into Suspend mode. In these situations, pressing the Power button will not resume the system.  
Connect external power or install a charged battery pack in the event of a critically low battery. Allow the  
system to cool if the system has reached the critical thermal limit.  
Off State  
7
In the Off state, the system is fully powered off (with the exception of the real-time clock). Note that the  
system will continue to draw a very small amount of battery power when the system is off. For this  
reason, the pen tablet should be stored with a fully charged battery pack if the system will not be in use  
for more than a few days.

Other Power Management Issues  
7
Issues described up to this point in this chapter deal with the APM driver and BIOS settings that control  
system performance and power consumption. Other power management features, described in the  
following section, are built into the system to prevent heat damage and data loss.  
System Temperature and Power Management  
7
The system has a built-in thermal detection circuit that monitors the CPU temperature. If the temperature  
reaches excessive levels, performance is reduced to allow the system to cool. Table 7-5 lists the different  
thermal system modes and gives a description of system operation for each mode.

Battery Charge and Power Management  
7
The system monitors the status of the battery pack. When the system is running on battery power and the  
battery voltage level drops, performance is reduced to increase battery life and prevent data loss. Table  
7-6 describes system operation for the different battery voltage levels.

BIOS Configuration Application Programming Interfaces  
This chapter describes BIOS configuration application programming interfaces (APIs) for Windows for  
Workgroups and Windows 95. Functions included in the following dynamic-link libraries (DLLs) are  
discussed in this chapter: STSETUP.DLL, STSET16.DLL, STSET32.DLL. These DLLs include functions that  
can be called from 16-bit and 32-bit Windows applications to configure BIOS parameters for the Point 510  
pen tablet.  
The files discussed in this chapter are distributed on the Point 510 Developer Utilities disk in the  
\ DLL\ STSETUP directory.  
Functions, as described in this chapter, are the same for all of these DLLs. To use these functions with  
your 16-bit application:  
• Include the file STSETUP.H in your program source code. Note that parameters and return values for  
these functions are symbols which are defined in this header file.  
• Ensure that the file STSETUP.DLL is in the C:\ WINDOWS\ SYSTEM directory on your system at run  
time.  
To use these functions with your 32-bit application:  
• Include the file STSET32.H in your program source code. Note that parameters and return values for  
these functions are symbols which are defined in this header file.  
• Ensure that the files STSETUP.DLL, STSET16.DLL, and STSET32.DLL are in the  
C:\ WINDOWS\ SYSTEM directory on your system at run time.  
Note: Although some file names for these DLLs are the same as those for the Stylistic 1200 pen tablet, these files  
are unique and were developed specifically for the Point 510 pen tablet system.  
Function prototypes for these APIs are written in the C programming language and are described in this  
guide using C programming language syntax. Although ideally suited for program development using a  
compiler that supports the ANSI C or C++ standard, these functions can be called from applications  
developed in other programming languages, such as Microsoft Visual Basic, which allow you to use  
DLLs. Refer to the documentation for your programming language for details on calling functions in  
DLLs.

Resume Time  
8
This section describes functions which allow you to set or retrieve settings for the Resume On Time BIOS  
option.  
BiosSetupSetResumeTime  
8
This function sets the resume time and enables (or disables) the Resume On Time BIOS option. A  
prototype of this function is shown below:  
intBiosSetupSetResumeTime( BYTEcBCDHour,  
BYTEcBCDMin,  
BYTEcBCDSec,  
BOOLbPermanent,  
BOOLbEnableIt)  
This function accepts three byte values that determine the resume time in hours, minutes, and seconds  
and also accepts two Boolean values which specify whether the permanent or current setting is to be set  
and whether the Resume On Time option is enabled. Details on these parameters are given in the  
following:  
Parameter  
Description  
cBCDHour  
Byte value that specifies hour setting in BCD format.  
Acceptable values: 0 to 23 (must be in BCD format)  
cBCDMin  
Byte value that specifies minutes setting in BCD format.  
Acceptable values: 0 to 59 (must be in BCD format)  
cBCDSec  
bPermanent  
Byte value that specifies seconds setting in BCD format.  
Acceptable values: 0 to 59 (must be in BCD format)  
TRUE = Permanent setting  
FALSE = Current setting  
bEnableIt  
TRUE = Enable Resume On Time option.  
FALSE = Disable Resume On Time option.  
Note that you must specify all parameters when calling this function. You cannot use this function to  
enable or disable the Resume On Time option without passing the other parameters this function accepts.  
BiosSetupGetResumeTime  
8
This function retrieves settings for the Resume On Time BIOS option. A prototype of this function is  
given below:  
DWORDBiosSetupGetResumeTime(BOOLbPermanent)  
This function accepts a Boolean value which determines whether the permanent or current settings are  
retrieved. This function returns a double word (32-bit value) which contains the Resume On Time option  
settings as follows.  
Return Value  
Description  
Byte 3 (bits 31-24)  
Byte 2 (bits 23-16)  
Byte 1 (bits 15-8)  
Byte 0 (bits 7-0)  
Hour setting in BCD format.  
Minutes setting in BCD format.  
Seconds setting in BCD format.  
0000 00002 = Resume On Time option disabled.  
0000 00012 = Resume On Time option enabled.

BIOS Configuration Application Programming Interfaces  
Chapter 9  
APM-Aware Application Design  
The Point 510 pen tablet complies with the APM (Advanced Power Management) model for power  
management events by allowing applications to issue and respond to the suspend request and other APM  
broadcast messages. To incorporate APM broadcast messages in your application design, use the  
operating system’s power management interface.  
The APM BIOS allows application developers to gain control over system state transitions by designing  
APM-aware applications. APM-aware applications are applications that monitor or respond to power  
management events or request power management state transitions.  
For example, when the suspend timeout expires or the suspend button is pressed, a suspend request is  
generated by the BIOS. An APM-aware application can block the suspend request and prevent the system  
from entering suspend mode or allow the suspend operation to be executed (provided no other  
applications block the suspend request). This is useful if your application performs critical tasks such as  
data transfers that should not be interrupted. Note that a critical suspend event, which occurs when the  
battery reaches a critically low level, cannot be blocked by applications.  
The Windows for Workgroups and Windows 95 operating systems use different methods to  
communicate power management messages between applications, the operating system, and the BIOS.  
The APM interface for each operating system supported with the Point 510 pen tablet is described below.  
Windows for Workgroups Power Management Interface  
9
The APM driver for Windows for Workgroups is POWER.DRV. To enable the power management  
interface, POWER.DRV must be listed in the drivers= entry in your SYSTEM.INI file. This driver allows  
Windows applications to receive power event notification through the WM_POWER message.  
When a suspend or resume event occurs, the message WM_POWER is sent to all top-level windows.  
APM-aware applications can respond to this message and prepare for or block the system from entering  
suspend mode. See your Windows programming documentation for details on the WM_POWER  
message.  
Windows 95 Power Management Interface  
9
The APM driver for Windows 95 is POWER.DRV. (Note that, although this file name is the same as the  
APM driver for Windows for Workgroups, this is a different file.) Windows 95 allows 32-bit applications  
to submit a suspend request using the Win32 API function SetSystemPowerState. Refer to the Microsoft  
Developers Network CD-ROM for details on the Win32 API.  
9-1  
             
Windows 95 Power Message  
9
Windows 95 sends information on power management events to all applications via the  
WM_POWERBROADCAST message. Parameters for the WM_POWERBROADCAST message that  
indicate various power management events are listed below.  
Parameter  
Description  
PBT_APMPOWERSTATUSCHANGE Sent to indicate system power status change.  
PBT_APMQUERYSUSPEND  
PBT_APMSUSPEND  
Sent to request permission to suspend.  
Sent immediately before the system enters suspend.  
PBT_APMQUERYSUSPENDFAILED Sent when a suspend request is denied.  
PBT_APMRESUMESUSPEND  
Sent when system operation is restored (resume) after a suspend  
operation.  
PBT_APMRESUMECRITICAL  
Sent when system operation is restored (resume) after a critical  
suspend operation.

Appendix A  
Memory Space for Hardware Identification  
The Point 510 pen tablet provides programmable areas of the system’s flash memory for storing hardware  
identification numbers. Table A-1 shows the physical address of these programmable areas. Each of these  
areas can hold 32 bytes of data.  
Table A-1 Hardware Identification Address Space  
Physical Address  
Suggested Use  
F000:DF60H  
F000:DF40H  
Asset tracking number  
Serial number  
Note the following regarding these memory areas:  
• Since these memory areas are in the system’s flash memory, you must use a special utility to write to  
them.  
• Although values stored in these memory areas are referred to as asset tracking number and serial number,  
these areas hold zeros as factory default values and can be programmed to hold any value.  
Caution  
If you update your system’s BIOS, you will need to rewrite data  
(asset tracking number and serial number) stored in the  
hardware identification address space.
