Working with mimio (cont’d.)
Control Panels
The mimio software CD includes template files and instructions for using 2 Control Panels:
mimioMouse and Talking Calculator. Electrostatic decals may have been included with your Xi.
These Control Panels permit mimio and other computer functions to be operated directly from the
whiteboard instead of from the PC.
To calibrate and activate Control Panels, place one or both of the Control Panels anywhere on the
mimio whiteboard. Then, push the bottom button located on the mimio Xi capture bar (or under
Control Panels in the software) until the Control Panel you wish to activate appears on the screen.
Then follow the audio and visual instructions using one of the stylus pens. You may want to place the
plastic mimioMouse insert into the stylus for this exercise to avoid marking the Control Panel with
ink.
There is a Control Panel API developer’s kit available on http://www.mimio.com/software,
providing all the software tools and information required to design and program custom Control
Panels which can be installed with the mimio software application. You can in effect develop
interactive “hot keys” for specific functions on your PC controlled from mimio Xi.
NOTE: Computer-programming skills(C++ & Visual Basic) are required in order to use the Control
Panel API.
