TESTING CONTROLS AND INPUT TOOLS

If the Grip Pen, or the Cintiq ExpressKeys or Touch Strips do not work as you expect, it is a good idea
to first check the assigned functions or reset them to their default conditions. A quick way to reset a
pen to its default settings is to remove it from the T

OOL

list by clicking on the list’s [ – ] button. After the

pen has been removed, place it back onto the display screen surface and the pen will be re-added to
the T

OOL

list with its default settings.

Open the Wacom Tablet control panel and click on the A

BOUT

button. In the dialog box that appears,

click on the D

IAGNOSE

... button to open the D

IAGNOSTICS

dialog box. The D

IAGNOSTICS

dialog box

displays dynamic information about the Cintiq pen display and pen. This information is used when
testing Cintiq and your input tool(s).

If more than one Cintiq unit is connected to your system, be sure to select the unit for which you are
testing in the T

ABLET

I

NFO

column.

Note: When testing your tool buttons, if a button is set to R

will occur when the button is pressed. In this case you may want to change the button function
before testing.
