Step 1: Confirm your device Type

Step 2: Select Units of Measure

Step 3: Enter Your Measured Image Width

Step 4: Position Of Device

  • DZ: is the distance from the device to the screen
  • DX: is the distance to the center of the projected image to the front of the device.
    • This will impact how far right the aim line is within your software. If you increase the number the line will go further right, if you decrease the number it will go closer to center. When the software selects Left or Right handed players this line will adjust accordingly and invert for left handed players.
  • DY: offsets the vertical distance from the device to the bottom of the screen. This should be left at Zero unless you are confident there is a gap that needs to be accounted for. 

Step 5: Select To Save Settings. If grayed out, this means there have been no changes.
