Introduction and Overview

The Wacom® DTI-520™ Interactive Pen Display combines an LCD monitor with a

Wacom tablet.

This gives you a direct point-and-draw-on-screen interface that can be used with a

Personal Computer (PC) or Macintosh computer. DTI-520's basic components include a

Wacom tablet internally mounted behind a 15.0" diagonal TFT color LCD monitor, and

Wacom's pen.

Your DTI-520 Interactive Pen Display offers a number of signiﬁcant advantages over a

standard monitor:

■

Reduced power consumption

■

Reduced heat generation

■

Requires less work space

■

Flicker free and easier on the eyes

■

Integrated input and display

■

Pressure-sensitive drawing directly on the display screen.

This manual describes how to install DTI-520 hardware and software. It also describes

how to use DTI-520 and the pen.

DTI-520 (the LCD monitor and the Wacom tablet)

Note that the computer treats the two parts of

as separate pieces of hardware.

Therefore, the installation process is completed in two stages. First, you will install the

LCD monitor portion of DTI-520. In the second stage you will install DTI-520's tablet

functionality.

DTI-520 Component Functions

Using an Alternate Mount or Stand

If you will be using DTI-520 in an installation that requires the use of an alternate

mounting platform, you can remove the adjustable stand from DTI-520 and mount the

pen display onto a VESA conforming mount arm or stand.

A VESA mounting platform will require mount screws that are 4 mm wide with a 0.7

mm pitch (M4 Regular), and a maximum screw clearance depth of 15 mm. Exceeding

the screw clearance depth of 15 mm will damage DTI-520 internal components.

To remove the adjustable stand and attach DTI-520 to a different mounting platform:

Turn off your computer

and power off DTI-520.

Then disconnect all cables

from DTI-520.

Protect the display screen sur-

face by spreading a soft cloth

onto a ﬂat table and placing

DTI-520 face down on the

cloth.

Remove the four screws

and lift the adjustable stand

assembly away from the body

of DTI-520.

Using the appropriate screws

for your mounting platform,

ﬁrmly attach DTI-520 to the

alternate mounting platform.

Rettach the cabling.

CAUTION

When attaching DTI-520 onto

an alternate mounting platform, be sure to follow all instructions in the documentation supplied by the platform manufacturer. If improperly installed, the unit could fall and be damaged.

Second Side Switch

Side Switch

Tip Switch

Pen Tip

When the pen tip is within proximity (5 mm or 0.2 in) of the active area, the tablet

reports:

- The x, y coordinates of the pen tip.

- The pressure applied to the pen tip.

- Whether a side switch is on or off.

When pressure is applied to the pen tip, the tip switch is turned on and the pen

simulates a mouse button click.

Eraser

To use the eraser, hold the pen upside down. When the eraser is within proximity

of the active area, the tablet reports the x, y coordinates and the pressure applied to

the eraser.

The eraser can be used as an eraser or assigned to another function, depending on

the application. The tablet distinguishes the tip switch from the eraser switch.

Side Switch and Second Side Switch

These switches are programmable, and can be used to perform the same click and

double-click functions as the tip switch. The switches are turned on when pressed,

and are otherwise turned off. Please refer to the online Help for more information

on side switch settings.

Using a Pen

Pointing and Selecting

Move the pen above DTI-520 screen to position the screen cursor. The cursor

instantly jumps to the new location (absolute positioning). Press the pen tip on

DTI-520 screen to make a selection.
