Panel

Product Overview

The Interwrite Panel is an LCD tablet. The electronic Interwrite Pen controls
the cursor and writes and draws directly on the Interwrite Panel screen.
When used in conjunction with a video projector, the Interwrite Panel’s
screen image displays onto an InterwriteTM Board, a standard whiteboard, or
any projection surface, and the interaction with the desktop can be seen by
everyone in the room. This addition to the Interwrite family of products,
which includes InterwriteTM Boards and InterwriteTM Pads, expands the
interactive opportunities of the Interwrite system for both the class room
and the board room.

About This Guide

This Getting Started Guide describes how to assemble the Interwrite Pen,
install the Interwrite Workspace software, set up and connect the Interwrite
Panel, and calibrate the Interwrite Panel. It ends with a brief overview of the
Interwrite Workspace software.

About Interactive Mode

Interactive Mode is the operational mode of the Interwrite Workspace
software that allows you to take advantage of the full power and robust
features of the Interwrite system. The Interwrite Panel is an input device to
the computer, similar to the Interwrite Boards and Interwrite Pads. It allows
you to annotate captured screen images and a variety of page types in
Annotation Mode, and to run applications and browse the Internet in
Mouse Mode. Everything done on the Interwrite Panel screen can be seen
on the projection surface, via an attached video projector. Anyone at the
Interwrite Board, or using an Interwrite Pad can interact with the presenta­tion and participate actively in the collaborative experience.

The Interwrite Pen is an electronic pen that sends
positional signals to the Interwrite Panel’s electromag­netic digitizer to control cursor movement. The two
buttons on the black Pen barrel provide additional
mouse-like cursor control. The lower button, the one
closest to the Pen Tip, acts as a double-click when you
press it. The upper button provides right-click capabil­ity.

Replace Pen Battery

The Interwrite Pen is powered by a single AAA battery.
The following instructions describe how to insert the
batteries that shipped with the Pens.

Troubleshooting Your Interwrite Panel

Device Manager is a component of the Interwrite Workspace software you
installed. Its function is to manage the Interwrite hardware devices (Inter­write Boards, Interwrite Pads, and the Interwrite Panel) and their connections
to the computer and to the Interwrite Workspace software. When an
Interwrite hardware device, such as the Interwrite Panel, is properly con­nected, it will show up in the Devices dialog, selected from the Device
Manager menu. To access the menu, click on the Interwrite Workspace icon
(in the System Tray on the Windows Task Bar, or on the Mac Menubar).

If the Interwrite Panel is not working correctly, check the following:

3 If the LED is neither orange nor green, the Interwrite Panel is not

powered on. Press the Power button on the Interwrite Panel Control
Panel. If the LED does not light up, check your power connections at the
DC Jack on the back of the Interwrite Panel, the AC Adapter and the wall
plug or power strip.

3 If there is power, but no picture, check the VGA cable connections (or

DVI connections, if you are not using VGA) at the back of the Interwrite
Panel (VGA IN) and on the computer.

3 If the Interwrite Panel does not show up in Device Manager’s Devices list,

verify that the USB cable is properly connected to the USB port on the
back of the Interwrite Panel and to a USB port, or USB hub, on your
computer. Unplug the USB cable from the USB port, wait five seconds,
and plug it back in. If you have more than one USB port on your
computer, try plugging the USB cable into a different port.

InterwriteTM Panel Getting Started

The purpose of this document is to give you a feel for the Interwrite system
by showing you how to select and use a tool in Interactive Mode. The
Annotation Tools of Interactive Mode consist of freehand tools, text tools
and drawing tools. Of the freehand tools, the Pen tool is the most frequently
used Interwrite Workspace Tool. The following pages describe how to select
and configure the Pen tool.

The Interwrite system is at the heart of a successful interactive collabora­tion, whether it is in a classroom of fourth graders studying world geogra­phy, or in a boardroom of corporate executives brainstorming a new prod­uct launch. All the tools you will need to stimulate inspiration, connection
and participation can be found in the Interwrite Workspace software.
Here’s a quick look at the Workspace basics to get you started.

Workspace Modes

Interwrite Workspace is run in one of three operational modes, Interactive
Mode, Office Mode (Windows only), or Whiteboard Mode.

Workspace Tools have been categorized as Annotation Tools, Editing Tools,
Page Tools, Presentation Tools, Multimedia Tools, Navigation Tools, File
Management Tools, and Setup Tools. The Interwrite Workspace Help file
describes all these tools in detail and can be accessed from the Device
Manager Menu.

Whiteboard

Whiteboard Mode, available only when using an Interwrite Board with
Workspace , allows you to capture and preserve notes, drawings, calcula­tions—whatever you write on the Interwrite Board with an Interwrite Marker
Pen.

Office

Office Mode makes it possible to interact directly with the native files of the
Microsoft Office suite of products, PowerPoint, Word and Excel.

Interactive

Interactive Mode allows you to open and run applications while in Mouse
Mode, using the tip of your electronic Interwrite Pen on the Interwrite

Panel screen to move the cursor. In Annotation Mode, you use the Inter­write Pen to select Interwrite Workspace Tools from the Toolbar.

Getting Started with Interwrite Workspace

Using the Pen Tool

The attributes of the Pen tool can be changed by selecting different
options from the Properties Bar at the bottom of the Annotation
Window.

Select the Pen tool’s Down Arrow to display its Tool Settings Menu.

Properties Bar

The Pen tool Properties Bar provides options to change line color,
width, transparency, and line ends and line styles. Each attribute
change is displayed in the Preview Box.

Change the Pen tool’s line color and width to determine how it will
affect the look of your annotations. The best way to familiarize your­self with all the different Interwrite Workspace tools and how they can
be used to enhance your presentations is to experiment with them.

Page Functions

Workspace also provides the ability to move within pages within the
window. Select the functions at the bottom of the screen to pan a page,
move between pages, use the PRS tool (optional), or discard annota­tions.

Presentation Files

The presentation file is made up of your annotated pages. The Page
Creation and Capture tools are used to create the pages in the presenta­tion file and the Annotation Tools are used to create the annotations.
The presentation file is automatically saved as a .GWB file.

As soon as Interwrite Workspace goes into Annotation Mode, an
untitled presentation file is created. Unless you give the file a name, it is
automatically saved using today’s date as the filename. (Multiple files
created today have 01, 02, 03, etc., appended to the date name.)

An existing presentation file can be opened, its pages can be sorted,
annotations can be added to the existing pages, and new pages can be
added to the file. Your presentation will determine how each presentation
file evolves.

For example, you can prepare a presentation file of blank maps ahead of
time for a geography lesson. Or, you can capture and annotate each of
the monthly earnings spreadsheets as you review the past fiscal year
during a budget meeting. Or, you can run a PowerPoint Slide Show in
Office Mode (Windows only) and annotations can be added to each
slide and saved in the native file.

Building the Presentation File

You can build your presentation file during your presentation, or you
can pre-build it, including the screen captures, images, graphs and text
pages you want to present. However you choose to do it, the process is
the same.

To capture a screen or window, click on the Mouse Mode tool with your
Interactive Pen and arrange the desktop for capture. Select an Annota­tion Tool, the Pen, for example, indicate your capture preference (by
clicking on either the Partial, Window, or Screen option in the dialog),
and annotate the captured image.

Use the Page Creation Tools to add a blank, gridded, or background
image page. By default, Interwrite Workspace is in Autosave mode, so
your annotated pages are automatically saved as you build your presen­tation file.

Click the Save tool to save the file using the default filename (current
date), or a name you type on the pop-up Onscreen Keyboard.

21

Getting Started InterwriteTM Panel

Distributing Presentation Files

The Interwrite Workspace presentation files you create can be printed for
local distribution, or emailed to anyone, anywhere.

Use the Page Sorter tool to review the presentation file. The pages in the
presentation file can be sorted, moved, duplicated, merged, and deleted
using the Page Sorter tool. When the file pages have been arranged to your
satisfaction, you can use Page Sorter’s export option to export it to one of a
number of file formats, or you can close Page Sorter and select an option
from the Workspace File Menu.

The native file format of saved presentation files has the .GWB extension.
GWB files can be read on any computer on which Interwrite Workspace is
installed. For general distribution, we recommend exporting the presentation
file to the PDF format using the Export PDF File tool located in the Toolbox,
or by selecting the the Export PDF File option from the Workspace File
Menu.

Now everyone can stay in the information loop, whether they were able to
attend the presentation or not.

What is PRS?

Interwrite PRS is an Audience Response System—a comprehensive response
system for electronically testing, polling, and surveying a group of people. It
can be used in conjunction with Interwrite Workspace to take a survey of
the audience response to the presentation, or to test the level of compre­hension after a lesson presentation, for example. Learn more about PRS by
visiting our Web site.
