Abstract

An electrographic system utilizing a singular resistive layer which may be transparent in conjunction with a supportive substrate. Through the use of an electromagnetic field generating sytlus in conjunction with coordinate alternating border switching, linear output performance is achieved. With the utilization of sum, difference and divider circuitry in conjuction with received output signals, the system remains immune from voltage variations occasioned in conjunction with the stylus and, thus, the stylus may be operated in varying spaced-relationship from the resistive surface.
