DTU-30 Digitizing Tablet

point ers or make menu selections. e position and movements of the stylus (also
called a pen) are represented by a video pointer on whatever display devices are
activated. Additionally, most setup commands can be activated using the tablet
rather than entering the on-screen menu system (see Using the CPN-5600 Menu
System, on page 27).

tablet’s operation.
