Checking the interactive whiteboard’s calibration
If digital ink appears only in certain areas when you write on the interactive
whiteboard, or no ink appears, the interactive whiteboard could be incorrectly
calibrated. You can test the calibration using SMART Board Diagnostics.
To check the interactive
whiteboard’s calibration
1. Press the SMART software icon in the Windows notification area or
Mac Dock, and then press Control Panel.
The SMART control panel opens.
2. Select About Software and Product Support > Tools > Diagnostics.
The SMART Board Diagnostics screen opens.
3. In the View menu, select SBX800/SBID8070i Bar.
The SBX800 group box appears in the SMART Board Diagnostics screen.
4. Press Tracker.
The screen becomes white.
5. Move your finger around the interactive surface and watch the four pairs of
colored lines. If the lines don’t converge on a single point, this indicates that the
interactive whiteboard needs to be re-calibrated.
NOTE
If one or more of the lines doesn’t move or doesn’t appear, this indicates that
a camera is obstructed or isn’t working properly.
6. Press the ESC key to close the Tracker screen, and then press Calibration.
7. Perform a calibration procedure (see page 14).
