What You Will Need to Use AccuTab VI

AccuTab VI is equipped with a standard USB interface and has an optional RS-232 serial
interface. It is compatible with most industry-standard PCs. The TabletWorks CD contains
drivers provided by GTCO CalComp by Turning Technologies and is the only software
described in this manual. TabletWorks supports reduced functionality Wintab and TabCon-
compatible applications. If you are not sure which drivers are required, consult with your
application vendor.

A USB connection requires the use of a TabletWorks driver, while the optional serial
installation necessitates the use of a TabletWorks driver and/or a custom application
program. After installing the TabletWorks software, the AccuTab VI will work with ALL
Windows-based applications as a mouse, in addition to working as a digitizer with
Windows-based applications that are specifically designed for use with digitizers.
