(Lite) Signature devices

The settings for the signature devices contain all the configurations for using the signature devices, e.g. the signature pad used and its settings as well as the appearance of the buttons.

General settings

Selecting signature devices

The signature devices to be used for signature capture are configured in this area. In “dual-pad mode,” up to two devices can be configured simultaneously.

All signature devices found are displayed in the table. Only “tablet PC and pen display” is visible by default. This option is used for Windows tablet PCs (e.g. Microsoft Surface) and pen displays.

Find signature devices

The “Search devices” button can be used to search for connected signotec signature pads. By default, only devices with the USB connection type (HID or WinUSB) are searched for.

The “configure search” button can also be used to optionally activate the search for virtual serial devices (e.g. signature pads with FTDI) or IP devices. All signature devices found are displayed in the list.

If this setting is not made manually, the search and assignment is carried out automatically during the first signing process.

The list shows all signature devices that were found using the search function. The list empties every time you exit and reopen the settings. To save the setting permanently, the desired signature device must be assigned as the signature device.

Assign signature devices

First signature device

The “first signature device” is configured as the primary input device for the signature. It is used by default for all signature captures.

To assign a signature device for signature capture, you must first search for available devices via “Search devices.” You can then select the desired device in the list and click the “assign first signature device” button to permanently store the device as the first signature device. Alternatively, this assignment can also be made by double-clicking within the list.

A dialog for entering a description for the device appears. The model description is entered here by default, e.g. “signotec Gamma.” However, a custom description can also be used.

After confirming the dialog, the device appears under the table as “first signature device:”

Delete assignment

If an assigned signature device is to be removed, the trash icon to the right of the assigned signature device can be used.

Configure signature devices

If a signotec signature pad is assigned as a signature device, the maintenance options for the device can be displayed. The additional options are further configured by clicking on the cogwheel icon displayed to the right of the assigned signature device. Click the button to open the specific settings in a new window.

The signature device settings are available for the signature pads signotec Sigma Lite, Sigma, Omega, Zeta, Gamma and Delta.

Maintenance options

The maintenance options are available for all signotec signature pads. The unique serial number of the currently connected signature pad and the firmware version are displayed. These can also be found on the sticker on the back of the signature pad.
