Screen Pointing vs. Application Control
The Summagraphics ADB interface box and driver conform to the Apple ADB digitizing
tablet specifications and Tablet Memory Structure.
These ADB specifications allow application software to utilize additional operating
parameters that are different from the standard Control Panel setup options.
Many applications require these additional parameters, and take direct control of the
tablet including modification of PixScale and Offset and control of the mouse screen
pointer. Therefore, you do not need to modify these options through the Control Panel. If
the application controls the operating parameters and you can them through the Control
Panel, unexpected results may occur.
Most applications will restore the parameters to those in effect before it began. However,
if you notice unexpected behavior after leaving an application, simply open the Control
Panel and adjust the setup options.
