Make sure there is a valid device configuration
in the active profile for the tablet. For
ASCII tablets, makes sure the data format is set to ‘ASCII 2000’. For WinTab tablets,
make sure there isn’t additional WinTab software such as KYE that prevents
applications from intercepting messages from the WinTab driver.
Digitizer Tablet is Sending the Wrong Commands
Make sure the digitizer map
that is assigned in the device configuration is the same
version as the printed map on the tablet. Also, make sure the printed map is
properly aligned
.
Another cause for this behavior is the pen is registering before it is actually clicked
on the tablet because of a high-proximity setting in the tablet configuration. Or, the
tablet may send several coordinates for one pen click due to environmental noise
interference or because the tablet is malfunctioning. Verify your tablet settings to
correct issues such as these.
Digitizer Tablet is Sending Wrong Lengths
You may need to adjust the resolution divisor
value in the digitizer settings. This
value is used to divide the x-coordinate from the digitizer tablet to produce
millimeters. Typically, the manufacturer specifies the number of lines-per-inch for
each tablet. This value divided by the resolution divisor should produce lines-per-
millimeter. Refer to the hardware support page for recommended resolution divisor
values for popular digitizer tablets.
Also, make sure the ruler at the bottom of the digitizer tablet is properly aligned.
Digitizer Tablet Hangs P3 when Connected via Baytech Multiport
If you are using an ASCII tablet connected to the PC through a Baytech Multiport
Controller, some of the map commands will cause the application to hang due to a
process threading issue. We recommend connecting the digitizer directly to the PC or
using PITTag2 software if this is not feasible.
