To list a few essentials of keypad voting system, I can say that the important thing is the ability to restore attention of the audience. If you are getting the attention of audience then it means there is a true feedback.
Any Electronic Voting System should also be capable of tracking individual responses and displaying polling results immediately. And an added feature could be that a summary report should be created immediately after the responses are gathered. This will give the true picture of the audience response and enhance faster decision making.
PowerCom software and ARS together can create miracles in your work. The best thing is that data is transferred to PowerPoint presentations, word and excel spreadsheets.
A keypad is a key pad
The digit key 1 through 10 are used to enter the numeric responses, including multiple choice questions A through E or yes/no answers, into keypad memory. The key must be released to allow the next key press to occur. The entries are transmitted to the Reply Base Station, which is then transmitted to the computer. When the keys are pressed, the digits are echoed on the seven-segment display (SSD).
Normally the displayed digit will go out within 3 seconds. This indicates to the user that the base Station has accepted the entry and the hardware is operational. If the light blinks and comes back on, this means that the Base Station addressed the keypad but was not able to accept the entry. Where do we use keypad voting system?
