Introduction
Super L VI belongs to a class of computer input devices called graphics tablets, or
digitizers. A digitizer is an electronic tablet work surface. The position of a transducer, a
handheld cursor or stylus pen, on the work surface of the Super L VI is converted – digitized
– into data for computer processing. Data output from the Super L VI digitizer is in the
form of an X/Y coordinate pair that pinpoints the precise location of the transducer on the
tablet surface. By placing a drawing or sketch on the tablet’s surface and tracing over it,
graphical information can be easily converted into accurate digital information for entry
into the computer. Super L VI digitizers are the next generation of the Super L family of
digitizers that set the standard in large-format digitizing. These high performance tools are
engineered with a state-of-the-art positioning grid to ensure reliability and quality.
Professionals in construction, estimating, CAD, textiles and other fields appreciate the
flexibility and performance of the Super L VI series.
The Super L VI family of large-format digitizers boasts resolutions of up to 2540 lines per
inch, accuracy of 0.010 inch and a wide range of sizes, providing the perfect solution when
the work demands precision data input over a large surface area. A variety of cordless and
corded cursors and stylus pens are available to use with the Super L VI. An integrated
mounting channel allows accessories, such as a plan holder, to be quickly and easily
mounted. The high-productivity Super L VI can be used as both a digitizer and a mouse,
eliminating the need for multiple devices at your computer.
Super L VI works with many graphic, CAD and estimation applications. These applications
use the digitized data from Super L VI to:
Determine the dimensions of objects on drawings and blueprints
Move the pointer on the display screen
Create and manipulate objects in a graphic composition
Trace a drawing or other source material, to create an image on the screen
Select commands or functions from an application menu placed on the tablet
surface
Select items from a pull-down menu on the screen
In order to send data from Super L VI to your digitizing application, the digitizer must be
physically connected to your computer, and it must be able to transmit the data in such a
way that the digitizing application recognizes and understands it.
