Connect your laptop/computer to the LCD projector using the VGA cable. 2. Connect your laptop/computer to the CPS receiver using the USB cable. Note: The CPS receiver does not have a separate power supply . CPS Receiver Placement: The receiver works via infrared signals. Be sure to place the receiver in a central location and high enough that it will be able to receive the signal from each keypad. 5 Keypad Distribution and Collection 1. Number Range: Each keypad is numbered. Choose a consecutive range of keypads that matches the number of participants in your class. For example: If you have 20 participants in your class, you could use keypad numbers 1-20. Note: You may want to add a couple of extra keypads within your selected range in case you have late arrivals to your class. Once you set the keypad range you will not be able to go back and change it. 2. Random Distribution: Distribute the keypads randomly within your range so that number 2 isn’t sitting beside number 3, for example. 3. Receiver Placement: The receiver works via infrared signal. It must be placed in such a way that the keypads all have “line of sight” access. Hooking it over the top of a flipchart stand may work well. 4. Keypad Malfunction: If you find a keypad that is not operational, assign a different keypad within the range in its place. Please notify the RTC immediately of any equipment that is not working properly. 5. Keypad Collection: Be sure to collect all keypads before dismissing class participants for the day. 6 Remove Previous Version of CPS In order to install CPS version 6.75, you will need to remove any previously installed version of CPS from your computer. Your screens may look different than what is pictured here depending on what operating system you have on your computer. The following examples are from Windows 7. 1. Choose Control Panel from the start menu 2. Choose Programs > Unin- stall a program. Note: If you have never installed CPS software before, skip this step and proceed to Page 9: “CPS Software Download and Install”. 7 Remove Previous Version of CPS (continued) 3. Select “Classroom Performance Sys- tem” in the list of programs then choose “Uninstall” from the options at the top of the list. 8 Download and Install Classroom Performance System Software The CPS Installation file is VERY LARGE (over 200 MB) and will take CONSIDERABLE time to download from the Internet. It is highly recommended that you borrow an installation disk from your RTC or IHS as an alternative. If you need to download the installation files from the Internet, go to the bottom of the “For Trainers” section of the OCWTP website homepage to be linked to CPS download options. 9 Download/Install Classroom Performance System (continued) After selecting the appropriate CPS download link, install the software to your computer’s hard drive. Step 1 : Save File - Choose a location that you will easily remember Step 2: Wait for the file to download to your computer Step 3: Open the downloaded file 10
