Calibrating CR-100 Controllers

Calibration ensures an intuitive and precise feel to drawing and
marking over the particular moni tor you are using. It is usually
necessary upon first power-up to do a rough calibration during
the start-up process.

You can access this calibration by touching the copyright
screen when it appears when the device is starting. The unit will
activate the Touch Screen Calibration dialog with instructions for
calibrating. This calibration is accurate enough to operate the
unit. You should then do the following calibration procedure to
obtain the most accurate calibration.

Calibrations are automatically saved for each video port. If you
move a touch screen to a dierent port, run the calibration again.
If you have a touch screen display with multiple video inputs, you
should calibrate the touch screen for each input.

All calibrations are stored in battery backed-up memory. The
most recent cali bration will be recalled any time power is cycled
o and on.

2. Select Devices. The Devices menu appears

3. Select Calibration. The Calibration Menu appears.

4. In the Calibration Menu, select the controller you want to
calibrate. The calibration screen for the selected controller
appears.

5. Follow the calibration instructions displayed on-screen. As
you touch the target, it will disappear and the next target
will appear. Repeat until all 12 targets have been calibrated.
After you perform final calibration procedures, the Calibration
dialog automatically disappears, and you return to the menu
system.

6. Exit the menu system. Repeat this process for each video
input on your touch screen display.
