The act of aligning the interactive display surface of a Promethean board with the projected image is termed calibration. This process ensures accurate touch response; when a user touches a specific point on the board, the corresponding action is registered on the connected computer. Proper alignment is essential for effective use of the interactive whiteboard.
Precise alignment significantly enhances the user experience, fostering seamless interaction and improved efficiency during presentations and collaborative activities. Historically, manual calibration methods were common, often involving multiple adjustments. Modern boards often feature automated routines that simplify and expedite the process, leading to more consistent and reliable performance.
