Split point configuration menu
When split point is enabled, the Braille display will be divided into two segments.
This enables you to read and interact with two devices simultaneously. For example,
the Bluetooth® screen reader output of a mobile phone can be displayed on the first
segment of the Braille display while the second segment can be used to read the PC
screen reader output via the USB connection. The cell between the two segments will
have all 8 dots raised to indicate where the first segment ends and the second
segment starts. By default the first segment will display the information send via the
Bluetooth® connection. The second segment will display the information send via the
USB connection. If you own an ALVA BC60 you can connect e.g. two PCs using the
two USB ports on the back side of the ALVA BC680. To be able to use the split point
feature, please make sure your screen reader supports this function. To find out if
your screen reader supports the ALVA BC6 split point functionality, please refer to
your screen reader documentation.

the "Preferred Interface" and toggle the option by activating it with the cursor routing.
