DrawingBoard VI 11
NOTE: Power is supplied through the USB port. No additional power source is
needed for a USB installation, even when you are using the DrawingBoard VI with a
corded high-accuracy cursor.
Optional RS-232 Serial Connection
1. Connect the RS-232 serial cable to the serial jack on the Connector Panel. The
connector is keyed and will fit only the correct jack. Do not force it. Attach the
other end to an RS-232 serial port on your computer.
2. Plug the power supply into an AC outlet. Join the power supply to the
appropriate jack on the Connector Panel. Turn the power switch on. The
digitizer will beep once, indicating it has power.
Tablet Power On
The DrawingBoard VI power switch is located at the rear of the tablet on the Controller
Connector Panel. When turned on, the DrawingBoard VI’s Indicator light will begin blinking.
If you are using a cordless transducer, turn it on by pressing any button on the tool. The
Indicator light will glow steadily when the transducer is inside the Active Area of the tablet.
When the transducer moves outside the Active Area, the Indicator light will go off.
