Working with the ActivPanel
Using the Side Switch
The pen may be equipped with a DuoSwitch. This switch has two programmable functions that can be
selected by rocking the switch in either direction. You can use the DuoSwitch whenever the pen tip is
within proximity (5 mm/0.2 inch) of the surface; you do not need to touch the pen tip to the display
surface in order to use the switch. By default, the upper switch is set to Double Click, and the lower
switch is set to Right Click. Switch functions can be modified or disabled using the Tablet control panel.
See Customizing.
Working with Pressure Sensitivity
The pen responds to the nuance and inflection of your hand movements, enabling you to create natural-
looking pen strokes within applications that support this feature. To annotate and write with pressure,
select a pressure sensitive tool from your application’s tool palette. As you work on the screen surface,
use various amounts of downward pressure on the tip of the pen.
Erasing
In supporting applications, the pen eraser works like
the eraser on a pencil. In text applications, use the
eraser to select text, then lift the eraser from the pen
display screen to delete the text.
When you are working with the pen display and additional monitors on the same system, the screen
cursor movement on the standard monitors will depend on your system configuration.
If a second monitor is connected in mirror mode, both the pen display and the other monitor will show
identical images and screen cursor movement.
If you are using the pen display with other monitors in extended monitor mode, you have several options
for navigating on the other monitors:
•
Set a pen side switch to the Display Toggle function. You can then press the button to toggle the
screen cursor between the pen display and your other displays. For example, your product can be used
as a pen display (the screen cursor is positioned at the pen tip location) or toggled for use as a standard
pen tablet (the screen cursor can be moved across the entire desktop or additional displays). See
working with Display Toggle for more information.
•
Set one of the pen side switches to Mode Toggle. You can then quickly switch between pen mode for
working on the pen display and mouse mode for working on the other monitors.
