Verify that your DrawingBoard VI package includes the following:
Optional Equipment
NOTE: Some digitizing applications (typically, non-Windows CAD applications where the
tablet is used solely as a digitizer with no mouse functions) may not require the use of
TabletWorks software. To configure DrawingBoard VI for use with a third-party application,
please refer to the installation instructions in the DrawingBoard VI User’s Guide, or the
DrawingBoard VI Help file.
NOTE: If your digitizing tablet came with a TabletWorks CD, install the software FIRST, and
then setup the hardware connections for USB (or the optional serial), following the
instructions below.
Software Configuration
Software drivers provide the communication bridge between your software application and
DrawingBoard VI. The GTCO CalComp by Turning Technologies-supplied TabletWorks CD
supports reduced functionality Wintab and TabCon-compatible applications. If you are not
sure about your application’s driver requirements, please contact your application vendor.

complete the driver installation. If the CD does not autorun, click the Start button on the
Windows Task Bar and select Run from the menu. Type X:\setup.exe (X represents the CD
drive letter).
Hardware Configuration
Installing DrawingBoard VI
NOTE: Connect ONLY USB or the optional serial – not both.
USB Connection – With TabletWorks CD Only –
1. Connect the corded transducer – cursor or pen – to the appropriate jack on the
digitizer’s Connector Panel. The connector is keyed and will fit only the correct jack.
Do not force it.
2. Attach the USB interface cable to the USB jack on the DrawingBoard VI Connector
Panel. The connector is keyed and will fit only the correct jack. Do not force it.
3. Join the other end of the USB cable to any one of the USB ports on your
computer or USB hub. Turn the power switch on. The digitizer will beep once,
indicating it has power.
NOTE: Power is supplied through the USB port. No additional power source is needed for
a USB installation.
