By default, the Motor Tracking Tool starts automatically every time your computer starts up. A
webcam icon will appear in the system tray to indicate that the Motor Tracking Tool is running in
the background. When the Motor Tracking Tool is running and you start an application which
requests video signal from your Webcam (e.g. using the video conversation function in Windows®
Messenger), the Motor Tracking Tool panel will open automatically.
Turn off the Motor Tracking Tool: Right-click the webcam icon in your system tray, and then
click “Exit”.
Turn on the Motor Tracking Tool Manually: Click “Start”, then select “All Programs”
(“Programs” for Windows®2000 users), then select “USB2.0 Motor Tracking Camera”, and then
click “Motor_Tracking_Tool”.
