Installation
Overview
The Wacom SigCaptX Library is an extension of the Wacom Signature Library. SigCaptX installs components which allow a signature enabled web application to be used in a range of browsers.
The product has been tested with Microsoft Edge, Chrome and Firefox.
Prerequisites
A prerequisite is the installation of the Wacom Signature Library.
For simplicity, it's recommended to install the 32-bit/x86 version of the Signature Library with SigCaptX, regardless of the Windows platform. A combined installer is provided to simplify the installation.
Additionally, a driver must be installed to use color STU tablets, see: STU Driver Installation. To use a Wacom Pen Display Tablet (such as the DTU-1141) the tablet driver must be installed to provide a Wintab interface.
Installation
Install SigCaptX by running Signature SDK installer, in order to install necessary components. Then, run the SigCaptX installer to install the server components.
The installation includes the:
- Web server
- JavaScript SDK Framework
Open the HTML sample PortCheck to verify the installation. Additional signature application samples can then be tested on the system using a suitable signature tablet.
Installation options
- To create 32-bit applications on either 32 or 64-bit Windows platforms, install the toolkit: Wacom-Signature-SDK-x86.msi
- To create 64-bit applications on a 64-bit Windows platform, install the toolkit: Wacom-Signature-SDK-x64.msi
UI Installation
- Click the “Options” button to enter or browse to the Firefox portable folder.
