Test signature capture
To test signature capture use any of the following methods:
Capture Analyser
This test program is installed as part of the Signature SDK and started from the Start menu.
It can also be downloaded here: Capture Analyser
The test is a standalone application which does not use the Signature SDK COM components.
Start...Wacom Signature SDK...Capture Analyser
To test signature capture:
Service...Test Capture...(select the service name to match the capture device)
- signpad connects to an STU devices
- wintab connects to a Wacom tablet through the wintab driver, e.g. Intuos, DTU-1031X
A successful test will display the signature capture window:
Further menu options may be used by technical support for troubleshooting as required.
SignHere Test
Run this test to capture a signature: SignHere.exe
The test calls the 32-bit Signature SDK ActiveX components to capture a signature:
The error message: 'Error: Retrieving the COM class factory for component with CLSID ...' indicates that the 32-bit Signature SDK components have not been installed.
If the app will not run e.g. missing .NET, use the Javascript test which is functionally equivalent.
Javascript Test
The Signature SDK includes a number of code samples for JavaScript.
Download and unzip the batch files from: Sign.zip The zip file contains:
Sign.bat - 32-bit signature capture derived from the Signature SDK samples
Sign-64.bat - 64-bit version of signature capture
Start a Command Prompt (Start...cmd.exe) to run the batch file Sign.bat in a folder:
(The single batch file contains commented sections for separate batch file and javascript processing)
The test calls the 32-bit version of the Signature SDK ActiveX component, installed as the default in most cases.
The error message 'Microsoft JScript runtime error: Automation server can't create object' indicates that the 32-bit Signature SDK has not been installed.
To test a 64-bit Signature SDK installation use: Sign-64.bat
The batch file uses the 64-bit version of cscript to call the Signature SDK ActiveX component.
