Calibrating your interactive flat panel

Digital cameras in the corners of the interactive flat panel track the position of the pens, eraser and
your finger on the interactive surface, and then send the information to the SMART software, which
interprets this information as mouse clicks, digital ink or ink removal in the appropriate location.
Calibration determines the position and angles of the cameras to accurately identify the location of
touches on your interactive flat panel.
