42 ActivPanel User Guide
If the pen does not work as you expect, it is a good idea to first check the assigned functions or reset
the pen to its default conditions. A quick way to reset a pen to its default settings is to remove it from
the Tool list by clicking on the list’s [ – ] button. After the pen has been removed, place it back onto the
display screen surface and the pen will be re-added to the Tool list with its default settings.
Open the Tablet control panel and click on the About button. In the dialog box that appears, click
on the Diagnose... button to open the Diagnostics dialog box. The Diagnostics dialog box displays
dynamic information about the interactive pen display and pen. This information is used when testing the
pen display and your pen.
If more than one pen display unit is connected to your system, be sure to select the unit for which you are
testing in the Tablet Info column.
Note:
When testing your pen buttons, if a button is set to Radial Menu or Open/Run..., that function will occur
when the button is pressed. In this case you may want to change that button’s function before testing.
1. While observing the Pointing Device Info column, bring your pen within 5 mm (0.2 inch) of the
display screen. A value for Proximity, the Device Name, and Device Type should be displayed.
2. Move your tool along the pen display screen surface. The X and Y Data values should change to reflect
the tool position.
3. Test your pen switches. The pen display status LED should light blue each time you click with the pen
tip, press the side switch, or press the pen eraser to the display screen.
•
Press on the display screen surface with the pen tip. The Switches state and Pressure value should
change. (Pressure should change from approximately 0% with no pressure applied to approximately
100% when full pressure is applied.)
•
Next, press the side switch without pressing the tip to the display screen surface. The Switches state
should change. Do this for both positions of the DuoSwitch.
Tip = 1, DuoSwitch (lower position) = 2, DuoSwitch (upper position) = 3, Eraser = 1
•
Press the pen eraser to the display screen. The Switches state and Pressure value should change.
(Pressure should change from approximately 0% with no pressure applied to approximately 100%
when full pressure is applied.)
4. When you are done, click on the Close button to exit the dialog box.
