Installing a Pointing Device

Installing a Pointing Device

A touchscreen offers many advantages when working in applications that
have been specially designed for it (such as the EXFO test applications).

However, for applications such as spreadsheets, word processors, etc., a
touchscreen might not be the most efficient pointing device. The FTB-500
was designed so that you can add external pointing devices (mouse,
trackball, etc.).

To install a USB pointing device on your FTB-500:
Connect the pointing device to a USB port, located on the right side or on
the front of the unit.

Although your external pointing device is automatically recognized and
immediately usable, you might not benefit from all its special features
unless you install the proprietary driver that usually comes with it.

To install the proprietary driver, refer to the user guide that comes with your
device.

Note: It is not necessary to turn off the FTB-500 before connecting a USB pointing

device. The software will automatically detect it.
