STU-540 Operating Modes
Introduction
The STU-540 includes a number of alternative operating modes:
- Normal
- Signature Capture
- Key Pad
- PIN Pad
- Slide Show
In the alternative operating modes the STU firmware processes the user interface, such as indicating a pushed button. This is achieved by preloading the tablet with images ready for immediate display.
This is particularly important when using the relatively slow serial interface since there is no need to transfer images between user interface operations. In addition the images are stored in non-volatile memory and can be managed independently.
Note that the STU-541 also supports the alternative operating modes.
The difference is that the STU-541 uses encrypted communication and does not support serial communications. Because of encryption the STU-540 test utilities are not compatible with the STU-541
Normal mode
The normal mode is unchanged from the older STU models.
Signature Capture mode
In the Signature Capture mode a capture screen is displayed as shown in the first image below. Up to three capture screens can be defined with the options - see second image.
For further details see: STU-540 Signature Capture Mode
Key Pad mode
Use the Key Pad mode to make a selection by clicking a graphic. The Key Pad selection screen can be configured in a number of ways, for example:
For further details see: STU-540 Key Pad Mode
PIN Pad Mode
Use the PIN Pad mode to input a number. The PIN code entry screen can be configured in a number of ways as shown below. The 3 PIN pad types are illustrated followed by the 5 key layouts.
For further details see: STU-540 PIN Pad Mode
Slide show
Upload images to the tablet and select the auto display function. Store up to 10 images for a round robin display, with a programmable interval between each screen update.
For further details see: STU-540 Slide Show Mode
ROM
The images used by the different operating modes are stored in on-board flash memory (ROM) for immediate retrieval.
For further details see: STU-540 ROM Store

The STU-540 can be used in standard USB HID mode or changed to operate as a serial Virtual Com Port (VCP) device (serial over USB connection).
The serial mode can be used when a remote connection is required and a full USB transfer is not possible. The serial interface is significantly slower than HID and the transfer of images takes a significant time.
This means that normal operation is impractical because there is a long delay between display updates while image data is uploaded.
To overcome this the STU-540 has a number of enhanced modes whereby images are preloaded on the device in non-volatile memory and displayed at runtime - this removes the need to upload images during operation.
The test utilities demonstrate these functions in HID and Serial modes.
To configure the STU-540 for USB or Serial operation see:
STU Serial Connection
Unzip the test utilities from STU-540-Test-Utilities.zip to a folder:
| Utility | Description |
|---|---|
| DemoButtons.exe | Demonstrates signature mode |
| DemoKeyPad.exe | Demonstrates key pad mode |
| DemoPinPad.exe | Demonstrates pin pad mode |
| DemoSlideShow.exe | Demonstrates slide show |
| DeleteRomImages.exe | Deletes preloaded images |
NOTE: To avoid the delays experienced uploading images, run the tests using the USB HID connection before attempting to use the serial mode.**
DemoButtons
Signature Mode
The ‘Use Signature Mode’ option is used to switch between the conventional and on-board signature capture methods.
The on-board Signature Mode is intended for use with slow serial connections.
Click [ Signature ] - this will start signature capture using the STU-540 signature capture mode (over HID):
The first time DemoButtons runs, the images it needs for signature capture mode will be uploaded to the tablet. Since they are stored in ROM they will not be uploaded again.
It is advisable to use HID mode to upload the images. To exit, press a button on the STU display (not Windows).
Signature Capture over Serial
Run DemoButtons.exe and select the following:
- Select ‘Use serial connection’
- Select Port to match the Virtual Port used in query.exe
- Set Baud rate to 128000
- Select ‘Use Signature Mode’
- Click [ Signature ] to start signature capture
Because the images were uploaded in the HID test they are immediately available and there is no delay in signing or clearing the screen etc.
To emphasise the effectiveness of the signature capture mode, deselect ‘Use Signature Mode’.
This method uses the conventional image upload method and takes a considerable time to start because the full screen image is uploaded at runtime:
DemoKeyPad
The demo uses the Key Pad mode to make a graphic user selection. The first time the program runs it uploads the images it needs.
DemoPinPad
The demo uses the PIN Pad mode to enter a PIN code. The first time the program runs it uploads the images it needs.
DemoSlideShow
The demo uses the slide show mode to display a number of images. The first time the program runs it uploads the images it needs. The images display continuously on the tablet until stopped.
DeleteRomImages
The utility deletes all images stored on the STU tablet.
Use query.exe from STU Serial Connection to view the hash values of images stored in ROM. The values indicate the storage status of an image, for example:
RomImageHash[Signature,1,normal] = 6686b765cb00bcdefd40a0f53c58d46a
RomImageHash[Signature,1,pushed] = 1b4bf1afd08396de7fd8715749bd9274
RomImageHash[Signature,2,normal] = not stored
RomImageHash[Signature,2,pushed] = not stored
Signature Capture Mode Reference
In Signature Capture mode a predefined screen is displayed, ready for the user to sign, for example:
In addition to pen colour and thickness, the WILL option (Wacom Ink Layer) can be enabled so that a smooth pen trace is displayed with variable thickness dependent on pen pressure.
Image Design
Define up to three signature capture designs. Each design defines the images used for normal and button pushed displays in the following format:
Below is an example of a normal image followed by a corresponding keys pushed image:
Signature Area
After entering Signature Capture mode, the signature screen from the normal image is shown. The signature area size is 800 dots * 431 dots.
Additional information such as name and reason, can be shown by writing to the signature area after setting the Signature Capture mode.
Operation Area
Button images are included in the normal image. Pushed button images are included in the button pushed image. When a button is pushed, the corresponding button image is displayed. The size and location of each button:
| Button No | Size (w * h) | Location (x,y) |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 265 * 48 | 0, 431 |
| 2 | 265 * 48 | 266, 431 |
| 3 | 265 * 48 | 532, 431 |
Signature Image settings
Each signature screen requires the settings:
| Item | Pattern 1 |
|---|---|
| Image design number | Image design number 1..3 |
| Signature screen (Normal) | Image data includes normal buttons, initial message and background image |
| Signature screen (button pushed) | Image data includes pushed buttons and background image |
| Keys Enabled setting | The bitmask (1..3) allows individual keys/buttons to be enabled (1) or disabled (0) as follows: Bit 0: key1 - Cancel. Bit 1: key2 - Clear. Bit 2: key3 - OK |
Signature Capture Operation
Before entering Signature Capture mode the images and settings must be stored. The following options must be set when entering Signature Capture mode:
| Item | Description |
|---|---|
| Signature Screen Select | Select Signature screen design from pattern 1..3 |
| MessageBox id after Enter | MessageBox screen to show after Enter was pressed |
| MessageBox id after Cancel | MessageBox screen to show after Cancel was pressed |
Signature Capture Return
UI Event Data reports the selected key number:
| Item | Description |
|---|---|
| Key value | 0: Cancel 1: Enter 2: Clear |
In addition to sending the report:
| Button | Description |
|---|---|
| OK | Clear screen and return to Normal mode |
| Clear | Clear screen and redisplay the initial signature capture box screen |
| Cancel | Clear screen and return to Normal mode |

Key Pad Mode Reference
In the Key Pad mode a graphic key pad is displayed for user selection, for example:
The general implementation is as follows:
- Upload Key Pad images
- Start the Key Pad mode
- Receive a return code
The images used in the process need only be uploaded once for multiple use. A hash mechanism is provided to determine whether or not the images have already been stored on the STU tablet.
If required the message area can be changed while the tablet is in Key Pad mode.

Validate a stored ROM Image
Compute hash for required image
Compute the MD5 hash of the required image, for example by using an encryption library function.
Get hash for stored image
Retrieve the hash in two steps:
