The DrawingBoard VI8
DrawingBoard VI Overview
The DrawingBoard VI digitizer (large format shown here) consists of:
Active Area
The drawing area—the Active Area—is that portion of the tablet surface
designated for digitizing. Its boundaries are marked at each corner by a
right-angle crop mark on large format tablets. On small format tablets, the
Active Area is delineated by the overlay – not including the menu.
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 Configura-
tion keys for greater productivity.
Indicator Light
The power/proximity LED in the upper right corner of the large format
DrawingBoard VI frame or the Prox/Config 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 get their power from the digitizer. Cordless transducers are
powered by batteries. They will go into a battery-saving Sleep Mode when
