10.1.1 Read AxiDraw Name
If you click Apply with the “Read AxiDraw Name” tab selected, it will search for
all attached AxiDraw units and list them you. AxiDraw machines will be listed by
their USB nickname or by their USB port enumeration, if no nickname has been
assigned. This tool can be useful for listing available AxiDraw units, even if you
are not using USB nicknames.
10.1.2 Write AxiDraw name
The second tab, “Write AxiDraw Name,” is for assigning a USB nickname.
To assign the USB nickname, enter a name between in the text box (here “Cal-
ifornia”) and click Apply. Before writing the name, it is recommended that you
disconnect any other connected AxiDraw units, so that you can be sure of which
AxiDraw you are communicating with.
Writing an empty name will clear the nickname.
You can use the “Read AxiDraw Name” tab to verify that the name has been
written correctly.
Assigning USB nicknames requires that your AxiDraw has firmware version 2.5.5
or newer. If you are unsure what version you have, you can check with AxiDraw
Control; see §9.9.3 Check for updates, on page 57.
