SMART Board 685ix - Orienting Your Interactive Whiteboard; Setting Orientation Precision

16 | INSTALLING YOUR SMART BOARD 685IX PREMIUM INTERACTIVE
WHITEBOARD SYSTEM
Orienting your interactive whiteboard
Your SMART Board interactive whiteboard includes default orientation data. Your
interactive whiteboard’s controller module uses this data if you haven’t oriented your
interactive whiteboard.
Orienting your interactive whiteboard ensures the greatest possible level of writing
and touch accuracy. After you install SMART Meeting Pro Premium on your computer,
orient your interactive whiteboard. Orient your interactive whiteboard if your projector
or interactive whiteboard has moved since you last used it, or whenever the mouse
pointer isn’t properly aligned with your finger or a pen tray pen when you touch the
screen.
Default manufacturing orientation
When your interactive whiteboard uses the default manufacturing orientation data, the
touch point on the screen corresponds fairly well to the projected computer desktop
image, provided that the projected image fills the entire interactive screen. The default
orientation is a simple 2-point orientation, which can result in the projected touch point
being offset from the actual contact location. To increase the accuracy of your touch,
perform a 4-, 9-, 12- or 20-point orientation.
NOTE
You can restore the default orientation parameters by holding the Reset button
on the controller module for at least three seconds.
4- and 9-point user orientation
When you perform a quick 4-point or the standard 9-point orientation, the orientation
data is saved in your interactive whiteboard controller module’s flash memory (that is,
the orientation data stays with your interactive whiteboard). If you connect a different
computer, the orientation data for your interactive whiteboard remains unchanged.
12 or 20-point user orientation
You can also perform a 12-point or 20-point user orientation. Unlike the 4- and 9-point
orientations, the drivers save the 12- and 20-point orientation data on your computer,
and it therefore remains with your computer instead of your interactive whiteboard.
Resetting the controller module won’t clear the 12- or 20-point orientation data from
your computer.
Setting orientation precision
The orientation procedure can be 4, 9, 12 or 20 touches, depending on the precision
setting you specify. The following procedure shows you how to change the precision
setting.
