• Floating Tools – a virtual palette of writing tools that increases the screen’s interactive
functionality, even if you don’t have a pen tray
• SMART Board Control Panel – allows you to customize the writing tools and to change the
SMART Board software settings
• Aware – an application for the Windows operating system that makes a number of
conferencing, graphics, word processing and presentation programs work seamlessly with the
interactive screen
For comprehensive information on using the programs and tools included in SMART Board
software, read the supplied SMART Board Software User’s Guide or the Help that comes with
the software. When you read these documents, keep in mind that the SMART Board for
Flat-Panel Displays interactive whiteboard has the same functionality as a projected SMART
Board interactive whiteboard.
NOTE: Display Control icon strips are available only if you’re using a Windows® operating system.
You can use the Display Control icon strip to turn your flat-panel display on and off, change your
input source, select a different screen width and perform other tasks, all while standing right at the
interactive whiteboard. The Display Control icon strip is optional, and if you find you no longer
need it, you can easily disable and remove the strip.
TIP
Aware applications (sometimes referred to as Ink Aware) are applications that
integrate with SMART Board software. When you write over an Aware
program, you can save your written notes within the file.
