If you are learning how to use the InterWrite PRS system and/or you want
to simulate a Session, you can set up PRS to accept input from the
computer keyboard that simulates Clicker input signals. When you want
to test a Lesson, you can run a test Session without having a PRS Receiver
connected to your computer.
Select the Key Input feature on the Connection Menu.

2 When you are using a Response Map, make sure the Response Grid
(Class definition) has enough Response Boxes, in addition to those
assigned to the students in the Roster, to accommodate the number
of simulations you intend to use. When there is no Response Map in
place, the grid will roll over.
3 Click on the New Session Function Button in the Sessions Section.
4 Start the Question.
5 To send a simulated Response to the Question, type a letter, which
identifies a unique ID (there are twenty-six unique IDs, one for each
letter of the alphabet). Then, type the number of your test Response
Choice.
5 Use the SHIFT and CTRL keys in combination with the letter key to
indicate a High Confidence Level or Low Confidence Level (see the
following Clicker Operation Instructions section), respectively. For
example, the Key Input SHIFT + b + 1 would be interpreted by the
Key Input Response Simulation option as: "Respondent 'b' has high
confidence that the first Response Choice is the correct one."
As you enter these alphanumeric combinations from the computer
keyboard, each will register as a Response in a Response Box in the
Response Grid displayed below the Question and Response Choices.
The View Menu lists all four of the PRS Sections and indicates with a
diamond which section is currently being displayed in the PRS Window.
You can move to another section by selecting it from the View Menu, or
by clicking on its Section Tab in the PRS Window.
