'''tl;dr''' - Make sure that VID 18fb and PID 1005 are allowed through the Citrix virtual channel '''AND''' PID 1001 is explicitly blocked (black listed).
Detail: The Review tablet communicates with the host through USB. USB has a Vendor Id (VID) and Product Id (PID). The Review tablet's VID is 18fb and VID 1001. When using the tablet with the ReviewHub software, which makes the tablet compatible with Scriptel's ProScript interface, it is ReviewHub that the application needs to communicate with. If PID 1001 is forwarded to the Citrix VDA, then ReviewHub software cannot capture the data. ReviewHub software forwards the data in ProScript format on PID 1005. So, PID 1001 must be blocked from being forwarded while PID 1005 must be forwarded.

Attaching the hardware

  1. Unbox the tablet and components.
  2. One end of the cable has an HDMI connector and 2 USB connectors. The other end has only an HDMI connector. Turn the tablet face down and connect that end to the tablet.
  3. Using the metal cover, secure the HDMI connector in place with the 2 provided screws.
  4. Connect the other HDMI connector and the black USB connector to the computer. The computer may be able to sufficiently power the tablet through the black USB connector, or it may not. If not, plug the red USB connector into another USB port. If the tablet's display steadily shows your desktop, it's good.
  5. If this is still not enough to power the tablet, unplug the red USB connector and plug it into the included USB power supply and plug that into a wall outlet.
  6. You may attach the stylus (pen) with the included lanyard to the tablet. There is an attachment point on the right side, near the rear of the tablet.

Installing the software

These steps need to be performed on the Windows computer into which the Review tablet is physically connected.

  • From the downloads page, download ReviewHub
  • Run the installer.
  • If you get a message box asking
  • Click [Install]. If asked, "Do you want to allow this app to make changes to your computer", click <Yes>.
  • On the Welcome to the ReviewHub Setup Wizard, click <Next>.
  • Read and accept the terms by putting a check mark in the checkbox and clicking <Next>
  • On the destination folder window you can use the default or select a new location and click <Next>.
  • Click <Install>, then <Finish>.

Review hub is now installed. Now you have to allow the installation of PenManager.

  • The pen manager software (3 birds icon) will now pop up. Pick your language and click <OK> and <Install>.
  • Click <OK> on the Pen Manager license agreement.
  • You will be asked if you want to restart your computer. You do not need to do this. Click <Restart Later>.
  • Click <Close>
  • If your Review signature tablet is not plugged into your system. Do that now.

ReviewHub and Pen Manager are now installed. If you rebooted, PenManager will automatically start and be present in the System Tray. If you have not rebooted and don't wish to before you use PenManager, start it manually by typing into the Windows search box "Pen Manager". When you see it, click it. It will now be running in the system tray.

Configure Monitor Mapping

With the Review pad plugged in and showing a Windows desktop,

  1. Open Display Settings, Extend the Desktop, and arrange the displays.
    1. On the desktop, right-click to open the menu, then left-click on Display Settings.
    2. Click Identify and note the identity of each monitor, especially the Review Tablet.
    3. The button to the right of Identify may say Duplicate These Displays. If it does, click it and change it to Extend these Displays.
    4. Arrange the displays the way you have the monitors arranged in real life. Do this by dragging and dropping the displays until you have them the way you want them.
    5. Note the number of the tablet. You can always click Identify again.
    6. Close Display Settings.
  2. Launch the ViewSonic Pen Manager application.
  3. Open the ViewSonic Pen Manager.
  4. Select the Mapping tab.

You will see something like this, showing both (or all) of your monitors. One of them will be the Review pad.

In the picture, the screen on the right is selected. This is the main screen, not the Review Screen, so it is wrong. To correct it, select Monitor number associated with the Review tablet. The default in Pen Manager is 2, but Review will not always be monitor 2. You must find the Review by remembering it from the instructions above or by matching what is on its screen with what is shown on the Mapping tab. Once this is done, you can close the application.

If it is right, the cursor will follow the pen on the Review screen. If the wrong monitor is set, the pen will place and move the cursor on a monitor other than the Review tablet.

Citrix considerations

tl;dr - Make sure that VID 18fb and PID 1005 are allowed through the Citrix virtual channel AND PID 1001 is explicitly blocked (black listed).

Detail: The Review tablet communicates with the host through USB. USB has a Vendor Id (VID) and Product Id (PID). The Review tablet's VID is 18fb and VID 1001. When using the tablet with the ReviewHub software, which makes the tablet compatible with Scriptel's ProScript interface, it is ReviewHub that the application needs to communicate with. If PID 1001 is forwarded to the Citrix VDA, then ReviewHub software cannot capture the data. ReviewHub software forwards the data in ProScript format on PID 1005. So, PID 1001 must be blocked from being forwarded while PID 1005 must be forwarded.
