DTU-30 Digitizing Tablet
The Pointmaker DTU-30 Digitizing Tablet is optional for the CPN-
5000
(tablet design may vary). In general, the tablet is used to draw, position
point ers or make menu selections. The position and movements of the stylus (also
called a pen) are represented by a video pointer on whatever display devices are
activated. Additionally, most setup commands can be activated using the tablet
rather than entering the on-screen menu system (see Using the CPN-5000 Menu
System, on page 7).
Refer back to this section, if needed, for general instructions concerning the
tablet’s operation.
