NuPoint User’s Guide 

Configuring Basic NuPoint Settings 

Basic NuPoint settings are available from the Access Method Menu. 

 

Note:

 Menu options are slightly different on dedicated devices. 

Setting the Selection Type 

The selection type options are Auto and Manual. When 

Auto

 is selected, your device will make your selection 

for you automatically once your Acceptance Time has accumulated. When 

Manual

 is selected, you must make 

the selection with a switch. 

Setting the Acceptance Time 

This is the amount of time it takes for your device to accept a location you have selected and to select the key. 

The device beeps when your key is accepted. For example, if you set acceptance time for .50 seconds, you 

must hold your position for ½ second before the key will be selected and the device beeps. 

Setting Averaging 

Averaging helps you reduce accidental key activations caused by involuntary head movements or jitter. In 

effect, it creates a box that surrounds the average horizontal and vertical values of where an individual is 

pointing. The lower the value, the smaller the box, requiring less movement to change the cursor position. The 

higher the value, the larger the box, requiring greater movement to change the cursor position.
