What You Will Need to Use
DrawingBoard V
This version of the DrawingBoard is equipped with both an RS-232 serial
interface and a USB interface. It is compatible with most industry-standard
PCs. The TabletWorks CD contains drivers provided by GTCO CalComp
and is the only software described in this manual. TabletWorks supports
reduced functionality Wintab
and
TabCon
-compatible applications. If you
are not sure which drivers are required consult with your application
vendor.
A USB connection requires use of the TabletWorks drivers, while a serial
installation requires their use only with Wintab-compliant application
software. After installing the TabletWorks software, the DrawingBoard V
will work with
all
Windows-based applications as a mouse, in addition to
working as a digitizer with Windows-based applications that are specifi-
cally designed for use with digitizers.
