How do I configure switches on an I-Series device?

July 20, 2016

On an I-Series device, button and switch input can be configured in I-Series Control Center, Tobii Gaze Interaction Software and Tobii Communicator. In Communicator, switch input is used for scanning.

To set up scanning in Communicator, select Settings on Communicator's toolbar and then Input Method. In the Input Method menu, select Scanning and then Tobii I-Series. For more detailed scan-settings, go to Settings again, then select Scan Settings.

Tobii Gaze Interaction Software can use switch input for performing a click (instead

of focus or blink). To use switch with Eyegaze, launch Tobii Gaze Interaction Settings from the desktop. In the Interaction tab, set Activation method to Switch.

In I-Series Control Center you can configure both switches and side button input to perform a range of different operations. To assign actions to switches, launch I-Series Control Center from your desktop, and select Switches. Select Set Action and choose the action you want the switch to perform.

For more information on how to configure switches in different applications, please refer to the application's manual.

Please Note:

Make sure that you have not configured multiple applications to utilize the same buttons. If multiple applications are configured to perform actions when button input is received, that might result in confusing behavior. You should for example not assign an action to a switch in I-Series Control Center, if you have set Switch as interaction method in Tobii Gaze Interaction Settings.
