Overview
The
Elan touchpad is registered as Smart-Pad™. It provides, in addition to
the usual mouse buttons operation, a rich set of usable features to enhance an user’s productivity. These additional features, includes
Rock Switches Function, Multi-finger Gesture, Scrolling …etc.
One
major feature in Smart-Pad™
is the Multi-finger Gesture. When it’s enabled, a single finger touching the
pad can simulate the left mouse button function while two fingers simulate
mouse middle (wheel) button function, and three fingers simulate the right
mouse button function.
The
Smart-Pad™
detects finger contact by capacitive sensing (it is not sensitive to heat or
applied force). When the fingers approach the pad, it alters the electric field
on the pad’s surface. The Elan Smart-Pad™ sensor is customized circuit
board with a matrix of conductive traces printed on the surface. A special chip
at the back of the Smart-Pad™
continuously monitors the capacitance change of the traces and determines the
presence and location of your fingertip.
To
get the most out of your Smart-Pad™, make sure that both the Smart-Pad™ driver and application software are
installed. Upon successful installation, a new Smart-Pad™ control tab will be added to
the Mouse Properties dialog.
