Kathy,

We are not even working with v.digit2 so I will stick to v.digit.
Here are the settings that we are recommending for our sites with 
Calcomp 9500's.  We do not have one here so this came from one of
our other offices.  It seems to be working for the offices we have
given it to.

Using the template for the Calcomp 9500 set these items:
(I am not sure if they were setting this up for Port A or B so you
may want to try both)

AREA 1:
  Mode
    Point - 1
  Res
    1     - 0
    2     - 1
    3     - 1

    2     - 0
    3     - 1

    5     - 1 
AREA 2:  (PORT A)

  PORT    - 1
  ECHO    - 1
AREA 4:

    5     - 1
  TONE 2  - 1
  TONE 1  - 1
  CURSOR  - 1
  PASS DATA - 1

We use the cc95f5_16 as the configuration file in the digcap file.
We then use a null modem cable to connect the digitizer.
