function keys to round out the picture of a powerful, versatile tool that can be configured to
meet the needs of any application environment from drawing, animation, presentation graphics
and desktop publishing to drafting and mapping. The high-productivity DrawingBoard VI can
be used as both a digitizer and a mouse, eliminating the need for multiple devices at your
computer.

to a computer and should be able to transmit data in such a way that the digitizing application
recognizes and understands it. Before setting up DrawingBoard VI, you should determine:
 Requirements of the digitizing software application being used
 Whether the digitizing application requires software drivers to communicate with
DrawingBoard VI
 Hardware communications connection (USB or serial) being used between DrawingBoard
VI and the computer
