SummaSketch FX 18


Running the Driver from CONFIG.SYS

Another way to install the driver is by including TABLETMG.SYS as a device driver in the
CONFIG.SYS file. In doing so, the system automatically installs the driver each time you
boot or turn on the system.

Line Syntax

DEVICE = TABLETMG.SYS [COM port] [transducer] [tracking] [other options]

Please note that the command options are the same as those for running TABLETMG.COM
from the DOS prompt or a batch file. Most of the command line arguments described for
TABLET.COM also works for TABLET.SYS. The exceptions are the /OFF command and the
memory location options /U, /E and /HI.

Example

For a SummaSketch FX with a four-button cursor connected to COM 1:
DEVICE = TABLETMG.SYS /1/C16

Installing the Windows Drivers

Below are instructions for installing MM/SummaSketch or UIOF/Microgrid format drivers
for Microsoft Windows. Windows must be installed on the system before installing the
Summagraphics Windows drivers.

NOTE: In order to use the SummaSketch FX with UIOF/Microgrid drivers, the tablet must be
in the appropriate format.

The Windows drivers require 250 kilobytes of free hard disk space. Before installing the
drivers, check for free disk space by issuing the DIR command on the target drive. DOS will
respond with nnn bytes free. If there is insufficient disk space, remove or move enough
files to accommodate the driver, then run the install program.

1. Insert the Summagraphics Drivers/Utilities diskette into the floppy disk drive. At the

DOS prompt, type either A:[ENTER] or B:[ENTER], depending on how the drive is
labeled.

2. Change to the WINDVR directory by typing: CD\WINDVR [ENTER].
