Software Utilities Move the Pointer Long Distances Suppose you are dragging an object, scrolling at high speed (via Virtual Scrolling! ), or merrily moving the pointer when you suddenly reach the edge of your TouchPad. Don't despair, the Synaptics TouchPad Edge Motion feature comes to the rescue! Edge Motion helps with long distance pointer motion. When you reach an edge of the TouchPad, the pointer (or scroll thumb when Virtual Scrolling) continues to move in the same direction until you lift your finger from the TouchPad or move your finger away from the edge. Edge Motion speed can be pressure-sensitive or constant. Pressure-sensitive speed means that the harder you press, the faster the object or pointer moves. You can configure the Edge Motion feature on the Edge Motion Properties Page in the Mouse Properties dialog. Fine Tune the Pointer Movement The Synaptics TouchPad has many additional features to help you control the way your pointer moves. Please take a look at the list of additional features. Accessories Your TouchPad is a productivity enhancing tool, designed for serious work. But we think it should also be fun. We have included two fun application programs that demonstrate some of the capabilities of the TouchPad: Pressure Graph and The Incomparable, Mysterious Synaptics MoodPad. To run these applications, click once on the Synaptics TouchPad Icon in the Taskbar, go to the Accessories menu and select the desired application. More About the TouchPad The TouchPad detects your finger by capacitive sensing (it is not sensitive to heat or applied force). As your finger approaches the pad, it alters the electric field in the vicinity of the pad surface. The TouchPad sensor is just a circuit board with a matrix of conductive traces printed on the top surface. A special chip on the back side of the TouchPad continuously measures the capacitance of these traces, and thus can determine the presence and location of your finger. To get the most out of your TouchPad, be sure that the TouchPad driver software is installed. If the Synaptics TouchPad driver is properly installed, the Mouse Properties dialog will include several TouchPad tabs along the top in addition to the standard mouse tabs. Property Pages The property pages allow you to customize TouchPad settings for your Notebook PC. The following pages will describe each property page with the Synaptics logo. The "Buttons", "Pointers", and "Pointer Options" pages come with Windows and should be described in Windows documentation. 80
