 3.3.2  VmarkerUtility: Settings

In the Setting tab it is possible to change some settings of the Vmarker sensor II.

 3.3.2.1  Basic settings 

In the Basic settings section there are several settings which influence the behaviour of the
Vmarker Interactive Whiteboard:
Enable mouse:  Unchecking   this   check-box   disables   the   mouse   function.   When

unchecked,   the   Vmarker   sensor   will   ignore   IR-dots   on   the   projection
surface. However when IR-dots are detected the coordinates are shown.
You can disable the mouse when you want to test and optimise some
settings without actually control the computer with the IR-pen.

Enable GYRO:  Unchecking this check-box disables the mouse control from a distance.

When   unchecked,   the   Vmarker   sensor   will   ignore   any   movement
(GYRO) from the Vmarker pen II. When enabled it is possible to move
the cursor from a distance, also read:  

4.1.3.2.How to use the Vmarker

pen from a distance

Enable basic pen: When enabled also regular IR-pens are recognised. Standard this is 

unchecked to ensure the Vmarker sensor II only react to Vmarker pen 
II, interfering of other IR-sources is suppressed.

To be able to use non-Vmarker IR-pens, this option has to be 
unchecked.
