ResponseCard RF Channel Slide
The ResponseCard RF Channel Slide displays channel setting instructions for the ResponseCard Radio Frequency devices used by participants.
The ResponseCard RF Channel Slide displays instructions that show participants how to set the channel on their response devices. If simultaneous presentations are occurring in adjacent rooms, each room will need to be on a different channel to prevent interference.
Before changing the channel setting on the ResponseCard devices, the channel will need to be changed on the receiver. There are 82 possible channels for the ResponseCard RF and 74 possible channels for
ResponseCard XR, ResponseCard NXT, and the default channel is 41.

Priority Ranking Slide
A Priority Ranking slide weighs participants’ choices and then ranks them accordingly.
Priority Ranking slides allow participants to respond to a question or poll more than once. Specify the number of responses (maximum of 10) allowed per participant, the responses are then weighted, with points assigned to each response. By default the first choice is worth ten points, the second choice is worth nine, etc. The response weights can be changed through the TurningPoint settings.
