3.3.4.3 Pen configuration
In this section you can select the behaviour of the pen.
Besides the on/off switch the pen has 3 push buttons. Each button has to positions;
halfway and fully pressed.
It is possible to use the Vmarker sensor II and Vmarker pen II combination in two different
ways:
1. By means of IR light, the pen emits IR-light through the tip this is reflected to a
surface (whiteboard) when nearby (<1cm). The IR camera of the sensor ‘sees’ the
IR-dot and calculates the position the cursor has to be. (Sensor= IR SENSOR)
2. By means of GYRO/acceleration sensor in the pen. The movement of the pen is
translated to movement of the cursor. (Sensor= GYRO SENSOR)
On the computer this can result in 3 different mouse behaviours:
1. Left-mouse-click while moving. (Mouse action = LEFT CLICK)
2. Right-mouse-click while moving. (Mouse action = RIGHT CLICK)
3. no-mouse click while moving. (Mouse action = HOVER)
So for the each switch position you can select which sensor mode to use and link it with a
particular mouse action.
The standard settings are:

Tip button halfway pressed
IR SENSOR

Tip button fully pressed
