This section introduces you to the most common devices you might use with the
CPN-5000. The CPN-5000 supports up to two RS-232 devices and up to 10 USB
devices through the addition of powered USB hubs.
IMPORTANT: Be sure to power down the Pointmaker before connecting or
disconnecting any controllers. The Pointmaker auto matically detects installed
controllers upon power up.
DTU-30 Digitizing Tablet
The Pointmaker DTU-30 Digitizing Tablet is optional for the CPN-
5000
(tablet design may vary). In general, the tablet is used to draw, position
point ers or make menu selections. The position and movements of the stylus (also
called a pen) are represented by a video pointer on whatever display devices are
activated. Additionally, most setup commands can be activated using the tablet
rather than entering the on-screen menu system (see Using the CPN-5000 Menu
System, on page 7).
Refer back to this section, if needed, for general instructions concerning the
tablet’s operation.
