I am looking to buy a 2d XY spatial locator. I have seen
such devices on systems but don't know who makes them or even
where to begin looking for them. The device I have seen passively
reads the XY location of pen (or whatever).
What I *really* want though is something like an XY pen plotter
without the paper: i.e. something that the computer can control
over an RS-232 line to place a probe within a fixed 2D space,
about 1 foot square. Does anybody make such a device? What I
need to do is control a probe to scan a 1 foot square, flat surface.
Does anybody manufacture such things?
Thanks in advance,
