Calibrating The Activboard - promethean ACTIVboard 78 User Manual

Calibrating the ACTIVboard

The projected image must be aligned with the computer referenced screen image
(orthographic correction) each time the LCD projector is moved or set up. This is
to align the pen and computer pointer image.
Calibrating the ACTIVboard is a simple and quick procedure that can be
performed easily at any time.
If your installation of the ACTIVboard and the projection equipment is permanent,
you will only have to re-calibrate after any adjustment affecting projected image
size is made, or a different computer is used.
In a non-permanent set up, should you or anyone move the projector or the table
(or the ACTIVboard, if mounted on a stand and it is moved) during or prior to the
end of your ACTIVboard projection session you will have to re-calibrate.
The projected image should be within the edge strip on the ACTIVboard. To
launch the calibration program press the pen tip in the center of the illuminated
spot, located in the top left hand corner of the board. Or:
•
For a Windows Computer
Launch the calibration utility by right clicking on the driver icon in the
system tray, which is located in the bottom right hand corner of the
Windows screen.
•
For a Mac Computer
Launch the calibration utility by double clicking on the ACTIVboard icon in
the System Preferences screen, then click on the ACTIVboard tab and
select Calibrate.
The calibration program will prompt you to click on the active area with the pen.
The calibration program will then project a calibration cross. Click the pen
accurately on the centre of the cross and another cross will appear. When you
have clicked on five calibration crosses, the calibration utility will automatically
close. Your ACTIVboard system is now calibrated.
