Using the Pen
There are two variations of pens: the Cordless click tip and Corded Click Tip. On both pens, the
pen tip is Button 0 and is used as the pick, or left mouse, button. The lower side button is
Button 1 and the upper side button is Button 2. To use the pen, press down until you feel the
tip click. It is primarily used for tracing and menu picking
The functions these buttons provide are defined through the TabletWorks software, or through
your own software application.
Learning Basic Movements
Clicking and Double-Clicking
Clicking is the action of making a selection. You may be selecting a key on the digitizer surface
or making a selection from your computer monitor. To click, place the transducer or move the
screen pointer using the transducer, to the item to be selected. Tap the pen or press Button 0
on the cursor. A double-click requires you to quickly tap the pen or press the button two times,
while the tool remains in the same place. You can also double-click by pressing the pen or
cursor button that has been defined as a double-click button.
Dragging
Dragging is the action of moving the transducer during a selection. To drag, click on an object,
but instead of lifting the pen tip or releasing the cursor button, hold it down while moving the
transducer, or corresponding object on the screen, to the desired new location.
Caring for the Tablet and Transducer
Follow these precautions at all times to avoid damaging your Super L VI:
 Avoid discharging static electricity to the tablet.
 Do not place heavy objects on the tablet surface.
 Do not use sharp objects; such as compasses or knives, on the tablet surface.
 Do not use the tablet surface for any purpose other than drawing, tracing or digitizing.
 Do not drill holes on any part of the digitizer or controller.
Cleaning the Tablet
To clean the tablet’s surface, use a soft, non-abrasive cloth. Hardened dirt can be removed
with a slightly dampened cloth. Do not clean pencil lines with a soft cleanser or pencil eraser.
This could create an undesirable shiny spot on the tablet’s surface that cannot be removed.
