If using ResponseCards, plug in the receiver, open TurningPoint Cloud, sign in to your Turning Account and click the
channel number below Receiver. If using ResponseWare, open TurningPoint Cloud, sign in to your Turning Account and
click Session ID below ResponseWare.

The Preferences window opens.

The Polling Test window opens.

There are three columns in the polling test window.

A count of the devices that have responded are also
displayed next to the Device ID column header.

l

Response- Displays the response sent from the response device.

Press a button on the response device.

For clicker users, if the receiver and response device are set to
the same channel, the response will appear in the polling test. For

in the polling test.
