to the appropriate jack on the Connector Panel. Turn the Power
Switch on. The digitizer will beep once, indicating it has power.

tions have different requirements when interacting with a digitizer. Deter-
mine, if you haven’t already, which communication connection you will
be using—serial or USB.
