User’s Manual
Part 1. QRF600 ARS Overview
The QRF600 Audience Response System (ARS) is an easy-to-use RF response system that obtains
immediate feedback from each participant (up to 400 persons) synchronously. Working completely out of
Power Point, the QClick software is both easy to learn and use. The system is also organized for instructors to
use any no-Power Point formats of document exam files or hardcopy exam paper to start an exam, or with free
style of system setting, an instructor can start a quiz even without considering a quiz file or a quiz paper ahead
before starting a quiz. The instance captured quiz questions and answers can be easily saved to the system
after a quiz is finished.
The system is composed of hardware (instructor remote keypad, participants’ remote keypads, RF main
receiver, and extended USB cable, etc) and PC software. The instructor keypad is equipped with a remote
mouse and PC keypad functions making it easy to control any formats of showing slice and the system
functions in a far distance.
The QRF600 LCD display and no volatile memory in student and instructor keypads make it possible
that remote control can be used in any classes with the features of virtually log into a class which is located by
automatic RF channel searching. The beauty of RF communication makes it easy for a student to raise a
question by directly communicating to an instructor with one single key press, but not interrupting other
people. At the same time, an instructor can view each student’s exam performances and the exam statistical
data on the remote LCD display without sharing the private student exam info with others. The no volatile
memory in the student remote keypad can hold as much as a whole semester’s homework and exam answers
for later review. Students can use the keypads to receive the homework assignment, do the homework from
home, and then turn in the assignment in the class with just a simple key press. Each student keypad keeps
one unique Student ID which can be easily set and reset by a manager or by a user. If a student keypad is lost
or damaged, it can be replaced with any new keypad by just resetting its Student ID.
The QRF600 ARS encourages participation and elicits individual response through the following no free
style activities: Normal Quiz, Paper Quiz, Homework, Rush Quiz, Elimination, Survey, Vote, and Roll Call
and free style activities: Normal Quiz, Rush Quiz and Elimination. The QRF600 displays the instant results in
the form of a histogram and score board after each question is finished in a quiz.

is plugged into the USB port, the software will automatically switch to QRF600 software. Otherwise, the
software will prompt you with a system selection window. You may plug the QRF600 main receiver into the
USB port at this time. The software will automatically switch to QRF600 system and prompt you the logon
window. If you don’t have the hardware, but if you still want to practice the QRF600 software system, you
may select the system QRF600 from the system selection drop-down menu. The next step is to logon the
QClick system by typing the user name and the password. The software sets the default login user name to
“qomo” and password to “qomo” too. If you do not desire to logon to the system, just click the Cancel button,
the system allows you to do some limitation of operations; at least the system database won’t get updated.
Note: The QClick software monitors the QRF600 main receiver plug-in status all the time; display “RF600
No Host” for Offline and “RF600 Connected” for Online.
Once the application starts running, the software displays the following control Tab windows, Quiz Genius,
Exam Editor, Template design, Reports, and Settings on the top of screen. The active default Tab is set to
Quiz Genius.
Before conducting a quiz, you should set up a class. If the class information is not available at this time but if
you intend to use the system casually, you may choose some software preset examples for classes, subjects
and teachers. The student roster table always goes with the class selection. The roster includes the student ID
number, name and grouping information. The student profile is embedded under the student record.

Note: Once a class is selected, the color of Class button turns into green.
Participation Mode:
The QClick system has two participation modes Individual and Group. The system sets the default mode to
Individual. You can select either Individual or Group participation mode from the Participation Mode
drop-down list. In the Individual mode, the performance test score is taken and reported individually. In the
Group mode, the performance test scores and reports are handled in group. The grouping information is
abstained from the class setting. Please refer to section 1.1.1 Class step 8 about how to make a grouping.
Only the activity mode Normal Quiz, Rush Quiz and Elimination apply to the group participation mode.
Activity Modes:
The QClick system has these activity modes: Normal Quiz, Paper Quiz, Homework, Rush Quiz, Elimination,
Multiple Mode, Survey, Vote and Roll Call. You should choose a mode from the Activity Modes drop-down
list before engaging a quiz or activity session. For further detail information about these modes and about how
to choose a mode, please refer to section 1.2 Activity Modes.
Load:
The load function is used for the system loading a quiz file or loading an answer sheet. The system Power
Point quiz file usually contains the quiz answer information. It is no necessary to load an answer sheet after
loading a Power Point quiz file. However, if you choose to use a no Power Point quiz file for the quiz session,
an answer sheet file is required to be loaded after loading a quiz file for these activity modes Normal Quiz,
Rush Quiz, and Elimination. If a quiz is engaged under a hardcopy paper or you choose the homework mode,
you only need to provide the answer information to the system. Then you just need to load in an answer sheet
or a Power Point quiz file which contains the answer information. To load a quiz file or an answer sheet,
simply just click the Load
button to display the file browser. To make an easily using the quiz genius,
the system automatically asks you what kind of file you need to load into the system, based on the activity
mode you select and based on what kind of quiz file you are using.
Note: Once the loading is finished, the color of Load button turns into green.
Title
The QClick system uses the title information for the engaging quiz or an activity. The title name and the
26
test ID are used for the quiz management and for the searching use in the student keypads which store the
quiz info. For example, the student keypad may store the homework questions for you to bring home to finish.
The title and test ID help you to locate the homework. Once a quiz file or an answer sheet is loaded to the
system, the quiz or answer sheet file name is copied and saved to the quiz title name area and the test ID
embedded in the quiz or answer sheet file is read into the system. If a quiz or an answer sheet file is first time
loaded to the system, and there is no test ID embedded in the file, the system will automatically assign a test
ID and save it to the file for the engaging quiz. The test ID number is kept by increasing by one when every
time the system uses the test ID number to save it to the file. The valid test ID number is from 1 to 9999.
When the maximum number 9999 reaches, the system will reset the number to 1. You may click the
Title
button to display the Set Test ID window to change the test ID number you desire to set and or to
write a memo to the engaging quiz.
Run / Start a Quiz

clicking the Run
button. Or you may press the “Play”
button on the instructor remote keypad to

Activity Modes
The QClick system has 8 activity modes: Normal Quiz, Paper Quiz, Homework, Rush Quiz,
30
Elimination, Multiple Mode, Survey, Vote, and Roll Call associated with no Free Style and 3 activity
modes: Normal Quiz, Rush Quiz and Elimination associated with Free Style. The detail description for each
mode is as follow:
Normal Quiz:
In the Normal Quiz, a quiz file should be provided with the correct answer for each
question prior to
starting the quiz. The quiz file is either in the Power Point format with the embedded answers or in no Power
Point format with the answer sheet file provided. The instructor controls the pace of a question answering in a
session. The question could be in the format of standardized multiple-choice with one correct
answer, or multiple choice with correct answer more than one choices, or the answer in the format of cloze
test or with a short answer in text.30
Paper Quiz:
A quiz file is not needed to be loaded to the system in Paper Quiz. The quiz questions are displayed on the
sheets of hardcopy paper. But the answer sheet associated with the paper quiz should be loaded prior to
starting the session. After the Paper Quiz is started, the instructor should set up a time for the whole quiz in
the timer window displayed on the bottom of tool bar. Registered students will receive the quiz information in
their keypad. The quiz title, quiz ID and question frame are automatically received by the student keypads.
The students need to hit the ‘T’ key to create the paper quiz broadcast information into the keypad. It is ready
for the students to start to answer the questions in their keypad. The quiz pace is controlled by the individual
participant. When the paper quiz is finished by a student, he or she can directly submit the whole quiz answers
without waiting for the others.
Homework:
The Homework activity is used for the instructor to send the homework question frames to the student
keypads for students to take home to finish and also used to collect the homework answers by receiving the
answers from the student keypad. The answers either embedded in the Power Point file or from the answer
sheet file should be loaded prior to starting the homework session. The homework title from the answer sheet
file name or from the Power Point file name and the test ID created by the system or set up in the Title
window (refer to session 1.1.5 Title) are used for the system tracking of the reports in the database and also
used in the student keypad homework searching. There is no time limit for the Homework activity.
Note: Homework Mode is either running in the state of assigning (Sending) or in the state of receiving.
When the engaged homework session is running but before the Start button is pressed or pressed again, the
homework session stays in the state of assigning (Sending Homework). Pressing the Start button will trigger
Homework mode switching from the state of assigning (Sending Homework) to the state of Receiving.
31
Rush Quiz:
This mode is similar to the normal mode. Except that the first audience member who presses any effective
“Rush Quiz” buttons gets the power to answer the question in a given time. If the answer is right, the audience
will get the credit point. If wrong, he or she will get the negative credit point.
Elimination:
This mode is similar to the normal mode. Except that the audience members who answer the question
correctly in the previous question have permission to enter the next round of question answering, the loser is
eliminated by the system automatically.
Multiple Mode:
The Multiple Mode activity is to combine the Normal Quiz, Rush Quiz and Elimination in one single quiz
session. The loaded quiz file or the answer sheet contains the mode activity information in each question set
up. If you choose the Multiple Mode as your quiz session activity mode, the system automatically selects the
activity mode for the current quiz question based on what activity mode the system reads from the embedded
mode set up for each question in the quiz file or in the answer sheet. If a loaded quiz file or a loaded answer
sheet contains questions with multiple modes set up, but you use Normal Quiz, or Rush Quiz, or
Elimination as the whole quiz session activity mode, the activity mode you select will overwrite the
embedded mode set up in each question. For example, if you select the Normal Quiz as your current quiz
session activity mode, but the current question mode is set to Rush Quiz, the system will ignore the Rush
Quiz activity mode but use the Normal Quiz as the whole quiz session activity mode.
Survey:
The Survey activity is used for surveying objects. The QClick system collects the audience surveying
responses for the survey object and provides the report of the survey result. You may use the system Exam
Editor to create a survey file with the survey object names and the items associated with the objects. A set of
value points from high to low is assigned to the items, which is used as the numeric evaluation of the
surveying object and also used in the system reporting. The survey file to be loaded to the system could be the
Power Point file with the weight information embedded in the file or could be no Power Point file. If no
Power Point survey files are used, the answer sheets with the item weight information associated with the
survey file should be loaded prior to starting surveying activity. The responses from the audiences are just
used to evaluate the survey object and there are no correct or incorrect answers information related to the
responses.
32
Vote:
The Vote activity mode is similar to the Survey activity mode. The audience responses contain no correct or
incorrect answer information. When you select the Vote activity mode, the system only allows you to load in
the vote file in Power Point format. No an answer sheet is needed to be loaded to the system prior to starting
the Vote activity. In this activity mode, the audiences vote responses help to choose one successor among
many candidates.
Roll Call:
The Roll Call mode is used for helping the instructor to roll call the attendances. When you select the Roll
Call activity mode, the system won’t ask you to load in any quiz files or any answer sheets prior to starting
the Roll Call activity. The roll call result can be saved to the system database for the later reporting use, or
can be instantly viewed after the activity.
Free Style Normal/Rush/Elimination:
The QClick system uses the Free Style control for the Normal Quiz, Rush Quiz and Elimination activity
mode. The Free Style control is used for the instructor to start a quiz session without loading a prepared quiz
file or an answer sheet. The quiz question information could be the captured images from the computer or
from the internet or could be from a third party white board or from the system built in white board drawing
or even from the instructor’s dictation. The correct answers for the questions could be provided after finishing
each question answering or provided after the whole quiz session is completed. The main advantage of Free
Style over the No Free Style is to give the instructor more freedom to use the QClick system, which is not to
restricted to the well preparing material examination before the instructor to start a quiz session, and at the
same time, it does not lose any student quiz performance data.
To use the Free Style control, follow these steps:
1. Under Quiz Genius tab window, check the Free Style check box to select the Free Style control.
2. Select the Normal Quiz or Rush Quiz or Elimination activity mode from the Activity Mode
drop-down list.
3. Click Run button to start the Free Style activity mode.
4. The status tool bar displays on the bottom of screen. If you don’t want to capture any images or to
use the system white board tool to draw or to write a quiz question, you may click the Start button on
the status tool bar to start an oral quiz.
5. To capture an image, right click on the status tool bar area. Select the Cut Picture item from the
pop-up window. The cursor changes the shape and the color. Hold the left mouse button and draw a
selection rectangular window on the objective image you want to capture. Then double click on the
selection rectangular box. The system white board tool displays the image you capture on the center of
the white board screen.
6. If you want just to use the system white board
33

Logon and Force Login
Logon
The QClick system requires the instructor and student keypad should logon to the system RF network before
starting to conduct a quiz session. The instructor must select a class containing a list of student ID before
starting a quiz session. If students want to attend the quiz or the exam, they need to set up their keypad
student IDs. These ID numbers should be from the class student roster list. When the class is selected, the
instructor and the student can start to logon the system RF network. Please refer to the hardware manual
session about how to use the instructor and students keypad to logon the system RF network. Once students
are logged on to the system RF network, they can keep staying there unless the instructor selects a different
class.
Force Login
If a student’s ID is not included in the student ID roster list of the class the instructor selects, but he or she
still want to take the quiz or the exam, then use the same way as the normal students do to logon the system
RF network. However, when this happens, the software will pop up a Force Login window.
35
The ID and the name of the student who want to force login will be displayed on the Force Login window.
Then, the instructor can decide to allow the student in or not. To operate the Force Login function, follow
these steps:
1. Crick the check box on Force Login student list window to select the student.
2. If you allow the student Force Login, click the Join
button. The student ID and name
will be automatically saved to the student roster of the class. And the session test data will also be
automatically saved to the system database.
3. If you want to reject the student to Force Login, click the Remove

button. The student
4. Weather the student is permitted to Force Login or not, the “Invalid ID” is displayed on the student
keypad before permission. After the instructor approves the Force Login, the student should try one
more time to logon to the system RF network.
Exam Editor
The QClick system software well handles plug-in Microsoft Power Point software. It is very convenient to
use the QClick system to conduct a quiz if you choose to use the Power Point file as the quiz question
presentation materials. The instructor keypad fully controls the Power Point slide just with a single key press.
36
But before using the Power Point quiz file, you should need to create and edit the Power Point quiz file. The
QClick Exam Editor is there for you to easily create a Power Point quiz file and to set up the correct
answers and the related information. If you choose not to use the Power Point as the quiz material
presentation software tool, The QClick can still handle it. Actually, you can have various methods to conduct
quizzes. The quiz material could be from third party format file, like ExamView, or could be from MS word
documents, or could be from Adobe PDF files, or with the Free Style mode, the quiz materials could be from
the white board, or from the images captured from PC or from the internet, or even from the dictation of the
instructor. In all these methods, you should provide the correct answers information to the system in order for
the system to grade the quizzes and to generate reports. The Exam Editor allows you to create and edit the
Answer Sheets used for these methods of quizzes.
To use the Exam Editor, follow these steps:
1. Select Exam Editor Tab window.
2. To edit an existing Power Point file, click Open
