GTCO Roll-Up Digitizer... lines appear wavy and jagged

GTCO Roll-Up Digitizer... When I place a ruler diagonally to draw a straight diagonal line the line onscreen appears wavy and jagged. What causes that?? Is there something wrong with my board or puck?

The GTCO ROll-Up is not a high accuracy tablet,it is made for general use by Estimators.

Normal accuracy is somewhere between 15 and 22 mil.

Are there any breaks in the line,this would indicate an open on the grid.

Are you using a Tabletworks driver? Check the options and make sure the correct size tablet is in the driver.

NEED WIN 7 DRIVER FOR GTCO CalComp Drawing Board III

Drivers for GTCO, GTCOCalcomp or Calcomp digitizers for Windows XP, 7 and 8 can be downloaded from this url:http://www.interworldna.com/GTCO/gtco-drivers.php

If you are trying to use your digitizer with AutoCad these drivers will not work and you will need to buy a driver from VTABLET.com (They provide a 30 day free trial/demo) only works with serial RS232 interface. If your digitizer uses USB then you will need an interface kit for your specific digitizer to convert it to RS232. Most new digitizers come with USB, some have serial but require you to buy an interface kit. Contact your Digitizer supplier.

If your digitizer is a GTCO, GTCOCalcomp, Calcomp or Summagraphics brand, try these guys: http://www.interworldna.com
They do not know about any other brands. Wacom contact Wacom, Numonics contact Numonics. If you have Mutoh or Science Accessories or any other brand you are on your own as those manufacturers have all gone out of business as far as I know.

GTCO Calcomp 30

You may have an open line in the grid of the tablet and the Quikruler cannot set a point.
Try setting the menu in a different location and check out the grid lines by moving the cursor over the area that won't take a ref point.

I have a Roll Up II digitiser with Quik Ruler when starting up, after self run test has passed it says: Press switch to relocate Menu, and it gives just a few seconds to do so, If i dont select anything it...

You may have an open line in the grid of your Roll-Up and the Quikruler can't find a good point.

Turn on your RUD II and Quikruler and let it go through the sequence and place the cursor on the RUD.

There should be numbers displayed on the QR, if you take the cursor and go from the left part of the RUD to the right and see any of the numbers disappear, than you have on open in the RUD.

Call GTCO Tech Support and ask for an RMA if you want it repaired.

The GTCO digitizer roll up board was folded and now has a crease.

No, the lines in the Roll-Up are probably broken.

If you send it to GTC for repair, they should give you a discount on a new one.

Go to the search on your computer and find your tabletworks. Open tablet works and go to mapping. Click pick. Locate your mouse pad on the digitzer pad. Click Apply. This worked for me.

Wont recognize gtco digitizer on start up

First reset digitizer and make sure you hear four beeps and only four beeps.
Check the cables from the Quikruler to the interface module, make sure they are in good condition, no cuts, breaks missing pins on connector.
Check cables from interface module to digitizer. A good way to check for an intermittent problem is to bend the cable at different points and check the display on the Quikruler to see if has reset.

Select S01 on the superset code with your stylus or cursor. You get get four sucess tones (beeps).

If none of this works check the firmware version on the digitizer, some J2.0 firmware may become corrupted. When the firmware becomes corrupted, you will hear three(3) medium tones on power-up.
If this is happening it will have to be serviced by GTCO.
