Setting Up the Digital Takeoff Table™ is fairly straightforward.

The following items are required for installation:

Power on the computer and the Digital Takeoff Table - the blue power light should be lit on the Digital Takeoff Table

If you touch the Pen Tool to the screen, at this point, a blue light should light up directly to the left of the blue power light - if it does not then troubleshoot the hardware/cable connections.
