Digitizer Tablets |
|
Use this dialog to configure a digitizer tablet to communicate with P5. If you are having issues getting the connection to work, please see the Digitizer Tablet Communication Settings section of the Troubleshooting Device Connections page.
Device Type |
|
|
Select the type of connection the digitizer tablet will be using. P5 supports both serial and USB connections. When using a USB connection, you must install the WinTAB driver supplied by the tablet manufacturer. If you are using a CalComp digitizer connected via USB, installing TabletWorks installs the required WinTAB driver. |
|
Coordinate Transmit Mode |
|
|
Specify the coordinate transmit mode as Point or Continuous. If coordinates stream continuously in the Raw Data terminal window when the digitizer pen is near or on the tablet surface, then select Continuous. If coordinates only appear in the Raw Data terminal window when the pen is clicked on tablet, select Point. |
|
Test Terminal |
|
|
To test that communication settings are correct for the tablet, slide the Connection switch to the On position, then click the digitizer pen anywhere on the surface of the tablet. If one X/Y coordinate appears in the Captured Data terminal window for each click, then it is configured correctly. |
