positioning grid to ensure reliability and quality. Professionals in construction, estimating, CAD,
textiles and other fields appreciate the flexibility and performance of the Super L VI series.
The Super L VI family of large-format digitizers boasts resolutions of up to 2540 lines per inch,
accuracy of 0.010 inch and a wide range of sizes, providing the perfect solution when the work
demands precision data input over a large surface area. A variety of cordless and corded
cursors and stylus pens are available to use with the Super L VI. An integrated mounting
channel allows accessories, such as a plan holder, to be quickly and easily mounted. The high-
productivity Super L VI can be used as both a digitizer and a mouse, eliminating the need for
multiple devices at your computer.
Super L VI works with many graphic, CAD and estimation applications. These applications use
the digitized data from Super L VI to:
 Determine the dimensions of objects on drawings and blueprints
 Move the pointer on the display screen
 Create and manipulate objects in a graphic composition
 Trace a drawing or other source material, to create an image on the screen
 Select commands or functions from an application menu placed on the tablet surface
 Select items from a pull-down menu on the screen
In order to send data from Super L VI to your digitizing application, the digitizer must be
physically connected to your computer, and it must be able to transmit the data in such a way
that the digitizing application recognizes and understands it.
Before setting up Super L VI, you should determine:
 The requirements of the digitizing software application you’re using
 Whether your digitizing application requires software drivers to communicate with Super
L VI
 The hardware communications connection (USB or Serial) you will be using between the
Super L VI and the computer
When the Super L VI is set up for a serial connection, it must be configured so that it can send
data in a way the application software will recognize and understand. Different applications
have different requirements when interacting with a digitizer. The Super L VI has been
designed to provide the appropriate serial requirements for a wide variety of graphic, CAD and
estimating applications using a simple code system. The SuperSet Menu located at the top of
the Super L VI is used to enter the appropriate code for the software you are using. Table 1 in
the
Using the SuperSet Menu
section of this manual lists the SuperSet Codes for a wide variety
of applications. All you have to do is input the code for the application you are using and the
Super L VI will be able to communicate properly with the application software on your
computer. Table 2 lists the configuration details for each SuperSet Code in Table 1.
