If you are ready with setting up the active area you can use the test program which will help 
you  to  do  some  fine  adjustments.  This  tool  is  called  “MultiBlobViz”,  you  will  find  it  under 
Options 

 Start MultiBlobViz.  

What  it  does  is  to  receive  TUIO  data  on  port  3333  and  draws  circles  on  the corresponding 
screen  position  (see  also  chapter  4.2.2  Open  sound  control  (OSC):  TUIO).  Make  sure  that 
your  PC  on  which  you  are running the  radarTOUCH  software,  has the IP  address to  which 
you are sending the TUIO data. 
By using the arrow keys you can change the position and size of your active area:

The small icons in the lower part of the screen will help you during your adjustments. 
You are only changing the active area which has the focus in the PreViz window.  
 
You  can  leave  this  application  by  pressing  ESC but  keep  in  mind that  you  have  store  your 
new settings are not stored automatically.
