Feature Cursor Feedback Description Ability to see if the target has been hit by using visual feedback for success. Pen Overview The Latitude ST uses several input devices. The standard external USB keyboard and mouse are present, plus you can opt for the electrostatic pen or just use your finger as an input device. The Latitude ST uses a specifically designed electrostatic pen or stylus for use in tablet PC mode. Instead of relying on battery power, the energy source for the stylus is magnetic energy produced by the excitation coil built into the digitizer itself. The signal from the coil is picked up by the stylus and triggers the stylus to transmit an electric field. The transmitted electric field is sensed by a matrix of conductive lines on the slate. The accurate stylus position is determined using the low amplitude signals received on the vertical and horizontal conductors. Thus an appropriate signal is transferred to the digitizer's on-board processor. Pen Information 1. Pen 2. Eraser pen button 3. Right-click pen button 4. Pen tip 5. Removable cap to replace the battery Calibrating The Pen The pen can function at the default calibration or at a calibration set by you or by another user. It is recommended that you use the pen only while it is calibrated to your personal calibration settings. Calibration optimizes pen performance for each user. 10
