PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The primary function of penDirector is to handle the data transfer of handwriting stroke information from a digital pen to a PC. In addition to this, penDirector also contains utility functionality to assist in the configuration and management of digital pens with respect to firmware updates and encryption key installation when used in conjunction with the Anoto Encryption Toolkit. 
Depending on the pen model being used, some of the features of penDirector include:
  • Forwarding of stroke data to registered applications through the Pen Data Transfer feature
  • Support for Live Pen™ 2 and Live Pen™ 1 encryption
  • Forward and/or notify PC SDK based applications with pen data
  • Get information from the pen, such as estimated writing time, standby time, used memory, battery status etc.
  • Get and set the pen clock, information about the owner of the pen (such as name, email address, and mobile phone number)
  • Enable or disable Bluetooth and get/set the PIN code for the Bluetooth pairing functionality
  • Enable different settings for how synchronization should take place when the pen is docked to the USB cradle
  • See a log of previous synchronizations including their status
  • Configure and set a password on the pen to prevent its data being involuntarily accessed
  • Upgrade the firmware in the pen using the built-in penUpgrader utility
  • Install encryption keys and certificates using the built-in penKeyLoader utility
