Hardware:GTCO Calcomp Roll Up III

Helpful Information

The Roll Up III is a great alternative to a traditional digitzer. It is light weight and can be stored easily, yet has the same user interface as the common boards. It can be ordered in 3 sizes. (20x24) (30x36) (36x48)

The Roll Up III can ONLY be used with the serial cable and not the USB. A serial to USB
adapter will be needed if your machine has no serial port.  NOTE: The driver for the serial to USB converter must be installed as well.

The "S"menu button initiates the Select Mode. Two-digit numeric codes are entered after Select Mode is activated. When using the SuperSet Menu, a tone will sound indicating a successful selection when you click on the "S" button. Four tones will sound after you enter the code.
