DrawingBoard VI 7
Menu Strip
The Menu Strip is the row of keys located in the lower left corner of the large format tablet
and across the top of the small format tablet. You can use the keys to customize your
tablet, or to assign macros to Configuration keys for greater productivity.
Indicator Light
The power/proximity LED in the upper right corner of the large format DrawingBoard VI
frame or the proximity/configuration light above the Menu Strip on the small format tablet
is the Indicator Light. It remains off when the power is on. However, when the transducer
is in prox (within the range) of the Active Area, the LED is solid green.
Transducer
Two types of transducers can be used with DrawingBoard VI: pens and cursors. Both are
available in corded and cordless versions. The corded transducers receive power from the
digitizer. Cordless transducers are powered by batteries. They will go into a battery-saving
Sleep Mode when no button has been pressed for one to five minutes, depending on the
type of transducer being used. To reactivate a sleeping transducer, press one of its
buttons.
Cursors
The cursor is similar in appearance to a mouse, except that it has an attached lens with
crosshairs for highly accurate detail work. Cursors are available in 4 or 16 button models.
In addition, there is a special 16 button cursor available with high-accuracy digitizers.
Pens
Each pen is similar in appearance to a ballpoint pen. The pen transducer has three
buttons, two on the side of the barrel and one in the pen tip. Three different types of pens
are identified by a colored ring on the pen barrel – the Click Tip has a light blue ring; the
Pressure Tip, a black ring; and the Lite Touch Tip, a red ring.
