Calibrating your interactive whiteboard
Digital cameras in the corners of the interactive whiteboard track the position of the pens and your

interprets this information as mouse clicks, digital ink or ink removal in the appropriate location.

ensures that the cameras accurately track your finger and the pens on the interactive surface. If the
system detects incorrect calibration parameters, a warning bubble may also appear recommending
that you perform a calibration.
