Connection preferences apply to response devices and are grouped into five sections:

Response Devices

This section contains preferences for the response devices compatible with TurningPoint.

  • ResponseCard Channels - Displays the Receiver ID and channels of the receivers connected to the computer. To change the channel on the receiver, select the channel number from the drop-down menu.
  • Polling Connections - The polling test is used to ensure that each response device can communicate with TurningPoint. 
  • Force Channel Change - Determines whether TurningPoint will allow the receiver channel to be maintained once connected. When checked, TurningPoint will force the receiver to change to the first available channel slot.
  • Enforce Participant List - When checked, responses from participants who are not in the loaded participant list will be excluded. TurningPoint will accept all participant responses and append them to the end of the participant list.
