Introduction |
|
|
When the IVEO Viewer, Creator or Creator Pro is to be used with the
IVEO Touchpad or Touchpad Portable it is necessary to initialize the touchpad with setup
and calibration steps. The touchpad needs to
be set up to work with your particular monitor and will not need to be
initialized again unless the computer, video card or monitor is
changed. In addition the IVEO software needs to be
calibrated so that its screen image is placed properly with respect to
the touchpad. These setup and calibration steps are very
important. If not performed properly, the
touchpad will not work properly with IVEO software. This
procedure is described in the IVEO Touchpad and Touchpad Portable
Setup Instructions. |

Creating Initial Setup Pattern for IVEO Touchpads |
|
|
If you are using an IVEO Touchpad, the initial setup has already been performed for you. However, you will still need to calibrate the Touchpad as described in Section C. If for any reason your Touchpad's initial setup information is no longer recognized, you may perform the initial setup again as described below.
If the initial setup pattern shipped with the IVEO Touchpad or Touchpad Portable is
lost, you can create another by using the "Print Initial IVEO Touchpad
Setup Pattern" item in the Viewer, Creator or Creator Pro Touchpad menu to emboss the setup pattern
for the touchpad. Then make sure that the setup pattern is
mounted
on the touchpad. The page
should be placed
on the pad so that before the paper is clamped, the upper left
hand corner of the
page is as far up and to the left as it will go. The pattern for the IVEO Touchpad Portable has a
large frame
with a single dot in the lower left corner, a double dot in the top
right corner, and
three dots in the upper left corner. The pattern for the IVEO Touchpad has the same pattern, but with four dots in the center of the large frame.
For either touchpad, initiate the "Perform Initial IVEO Touchpad Setup..." item in the Touchpad menu of Viewer or Creator, then press the single dot in
the lower left corner of the calibration page. The tone means that the computer
has understood your input for that point, but you should keep your
finger on the dot for about three seconds. Next,
do the same press and hold process on the double dot in the upper
right-hand corner,
then for the triple dot in the upper left corner. If you are setting up an IVEO Touchpad, you will need to press the center four dots now. When you are finished pressing all of the points required for your touchpad setup, a window will
pop up to
tell you that the setup is finished. Select "OK". Once the touchpad has been set up, it should never need it again on
that computer. |

Creating a Map for Calibrating the On-screen Image to the Printed Image |
|
|
You may use a standard calibration pattern (note: not
the setup pattern) created by selecting the 'Print Calibration
Pattern' item in the Touchpad menu. However it is usually more convenient to use a standard SVG image, such one of the
maps included in IVEO's samples. To print a map, go to the File menu and choose 'Open'. In the Open File dialog box, choose the curriculum folder sized appropriately for your touchpad in the 'Samples' folder included
with all IVEO Viewer, Creator and Creator Pro installations in the C:\Program
Files\ViewPlus\ directory. Select one of the maps from the sample files.
You should hear "Document loaded" when the file is open and ready to use.
Now you need to emboss the file you opened. The program is
set to print by default on 8.5 x 11 inch single sheet or tractor feed paper for the IVEO Touchpad Portable, or 11x14 inch paper for the IVEO Touchpad. If this size is not convenient for your embosser, you may need to edit the page settings for the file before printing. Before printing, make sure that the desired paper is loaded into your
embosser. Press Ctrl+P or selected the 'Print' item from the File
menu. If a ViewPlus embosser is not your default printer, arrow down to select a
ViewPlus embosser, and then press ENTER.
Remove the page from your embosser. If you used tractor
feed paper, remove the tractor strips. Place it landscape on the touchpad in front of
you with the tactile bar code (three small dots arranged in the line of boxes) at the
top. Lift the clamp from the surface of the touchpad screen and slide your paper underneath. Slide the paper away from you so
that it is placed in the upper left hand corner of the touchpad and lower the
clamp back down.
Now select 'Calibrate from Current Image' from the Touchpad menu in IVEO, or simply press Ctrl+U. Follow the directions given from the program to calibrate IVEO.
Your IVEO Touchpad or Touchpad Portable and Viewer, Creator or Creator Pro should now be
calibrated. You can check the calibration of the on-screen image to the printed
image by touching places very close to the borders of states or countries on the map you used
during calibration. Select a state or country and
touch very close to the borders. The program should still say the name of the state or country when you do this. If it says the name of a neighboring
state or country, the calibration is off. Follow the steps to calibrate the on-screen image to
the printed image again.
