Procedure:1Open the Tablet Control Panel (see page 22) and select the Calibrate tab. 2Click on the Calibrate... button. An adjustment pattern for pitch and phase will appear.12 This setting is effective when the product and computer are connected by a RGB cable. Hint For Windows 2000, the pitch and phase may be calibrated after the Exit Windows screen is displayed. If the frequency needs to be calibrated, light and dark vertical stripes will appear in the dark areas of the screen. If the tracking needs to be calibrated, light and shade will appear horizontally in the dark areas of the screen (for 1024 x 768-bit resolution). This method is recommended in situations where the tablet driver has not been installed. Caution
