Test Pattern – Identifies the test pattern to display during setup or

troubleshooting. This option is enabled for supported projectors only.

Enable – When selected, enables the selected test pattern on the

selected projector(s). The test pattern displays instead of the media from

the input source.

NOTE: If multiple projectors are selected and only some of them are

shuttered, the check box remains unselected.

Shutter – Opens and closes the shutter for the selected projector(s).

Select the check box to close the shutter. Clear it to open the shutter.

Layout Panel

Polling Rate – Specifies the rate (in seconds) at which PowerTool

sends a status request to all the projectors in the configuration.

PowerTool polls one projector at a time, and then polls the next

projector at this interval.

When you first launch PowerTool with no projectors added, this value

defaults to 60. When the number of projectors you have added exceeds

6, the polling rate is reset to 10 times the number of projectors.

You can specify a larger value; for example, you might want to increase

this value if you have a large number of projectors and you are

concerned about network traffic. However, you cannot specify a value

less than 60 or 10 times the number of active projectors, whichever

value is larger.

This setting should only be changed by experienced system

administrators.

Poll Now – Click to begin to poll your projectors immediately.

PowerTool polls one projector at a time, and then polls the next

projector at a rate set by the Polling Rate setting.

Add Projectors – Allows you to add projectors to your configuration.

See

Section 3.3 Adding Projectors to the Configuration.

Launch

VirtualRemote – Opens the virtual remote keypad so that you can

control the selected projector(s) using the familiar keypad layout. If you

have multiple projectors selected, you can control all of them with

VirtualRemote as long as they are all of a similar type. For more

information, see

Section 3.6 VirtualRemote.
