The
Tasks Tab displays all applications for which a Tablet Task exists or
can be created. In order to appear in the Task List, an application must
be running on the Windows desktop. The Task List is used to select
Tablet Tasks in order to change their digitizer configuration; and to
create, destroy or rename Tablet Tasks. |
 |
The
Coordinate Tab allows you to set clipping and cropping areas for the
current task. The clipping and cropping features work together to define
an active area on the digitizer and Windows display. The default values
map to the entire areas of each. |
 |
The
Button Tab allows you to change the relationship between the digitizer
and Windows buttons for the current task. In addition, you can enable
the automatic generation of button events based on distance moved and
optionally generate a short tone or click each time a button is pressed
or released. |
 |
The
Pointer Tab allows you to change the orientation (also known as
rotation), positioning method and appearance of the Windows display
cursor when the digitizer is moving it. Note that related features in
the Cursor Tab such as sensitivity, acceleration and wrapping are
applied only when the Positioning is set to relative. |
 |
The
Driver Tab allows you to configure the drivers for the proximity
interval, serial interrupt usage, and contention with another pointing
device such as a mouse. While modifying these features is generally
unnecessary, changing the proximity interval or interrupt processing can
improve the driver’s performance. |
 |
The
System Tab allows you to configure how the Virtual Tablet Interface will
work with your particular computer and Windows hardware settings
including the serial port and interrupt usage, compatibility with
multiple display monitors, and using the digitizer as a mouse under DOS.
As a rule, you will generally not need to change these settings. |
 |
The
Status Tab provides important information regarding the operation of the
driver and digitizer. The values displayed are updated several times
each second and are useful for diagnosing problems or fine-tuning
performance. For details on how to use the Status Tab, see Common
Problems. |
 |
The
Template Tab allows you to assign keystroke macros to digitizer buttons and
execute digitizer template menus created and compiled by the Virtual
Template Editor. Both may be specified for a given task but care should
be given to possible interaction between these two features. |
 |
The
Pressure Tab allows you to set the effective pressure range of your
digitizer, enable and disable “air brushing” or the assignment of
arbitrary pressure values to digitizer buttons, and the smoothing of
actual pressure readings. While you do not need a pressure-sensitive
stylus to use all of these features, pressure is not used by all Windows
applications. |
 |
The
Stylus Tab allows you to set the range a pressure stylus will use to
output a button press or release. It also allows you to program
auxiliary buttons, like buttons 3 and 4 on a two-button stylus, from a
digitizer button and keyboard combination. |
 |
The
Cursor Tab allows you to change relative cursor movement
including sensitivity, acceleration and wrapping of the Windows cursor.
Sensitivity and acceleration determine how fast the cursor moves
across the desktop. Wrapping permits the cursor to wrap from one side of
the display to the other without traversing across the entire display. |
 |
The
Device Tab allows you to reset and configure the device drivers for the
digitizer type and report rate. While using these features is generally
unnecessary, changing the digitizer type is useful when diagnosing
driver problems, and changing the report rate or device type can improve
the driver’s performance. |
 |
The
Locking Tab prevents task properties from being changed by the Manager
or other applications. Locking can be very useful both to protect
programmed features from over-writes (like Template Buttons) and also to
preserve favorite features that may not be the Manager’s default
settings (like Driver Contention). By default, all features are
unlocked. |
 |
The
Manager Tab allows you to configure the Tablet Manager for a variety of
options that can make using the Manager much easier. By default, all
Manager options are enabled. To disable a particular option, uncheck the
box next to the option name. |
