GTCO Super L VI - Users Guide - Manual (Page 5)

Super L VI 5
Before setting up Super L VI, you should determine:
 The requirements of the digitizing software application you’re using
 Whether your digitizing application requires software drivers to communicate with
Super L VI
 The hardware communications connection (USB or Serial) you will be using between
the Super L VI and the computer
When the Super L VI is set up for a serial connection, it must be configured so that it can
send data in a way the application software will recognize and understand. Different
applications have different requirements when interacting with a digitizer. The Super L VI
has been designed to provide the appropriate serial requirements for a wide variety of
graphic, CAD and estimating applications using a simple code system. The SuperSet Menu
located at the top of the Super L VI is used to enter the appropriate code for the software
you are using. Table 1 in the Using the SuperSet Menu section of this manual lists the
SuperSet Codes for a wide variety of applications. All you have to do is input the code for
the application you are using and the Super L VI will be able to communicate properly with
the application software on your computer. Table 2 lists the configuration details for each
SuperSet Code in Table 1.
If for some reason, the communication requirements for your software cannot be found in
the two tables provided in the SuperSet Menu section, the Tablet Configuration Utilities on
the enclosed GTCO CalComp by Turning Technologies CD can be used to configure your
Super L VI so it has the appropriate information it needs to communicate successfully with
your software.
