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 the
TabletWorks software. To configure Super L IV for use with a third-party application, please

refer to the installation instructions in the Super L IV User’s Guide, or the Super L IV Help

file, where you will find a complete list of vendor configuration settings.

NOTE: If your digitizing tablet came with a TabletWorks CD, install the software FIRST, and
then setup the hardware connections for USB or serial, following the instructions below.

Software Configuration

Software drivers provide the communication bridge between your software application and
the Super L IV. 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.

Installing the Driver

Insert the CD into the CD-ROM drive on your computer and follow the onscreen prompts to
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

NOTE: Connect ONLY USB or serial – not both.

RS-232 Serial Connection

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 RS-232 serial cable to the serial jack on the Connector Panel. The

connector is keyed and will fit only the correct jack. Do not force it. Connect the 9­pin connector of the serial cable to the serial port on your computer.

3. Plug the power supply into an AC outlet. Join the power supply to the appropriate

jack on the Connector Panel. Turn the power switch on. The digitizer will beep four
times, indicating it has power.

4. To prepare the digitizer for driver support, use the transducer to click on the

buttons on the SuperSet Menu. If you are using a cordless
transducer, press a button to take it out of Sleep Mode before clicking on the
SuperSet Menu buttons.

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 Super L IV 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 Connector Panel on. The
digitizer will beep four times, indicating it has power.

NOTE: Power is supplied through the USB port. No additional power source is needed for
this installation.
