Here is the guide for it. This guide shows you how to calibrate the external monitor. You can only calibrate the monitor if the monitor icon in the test app shows two monitors (this means that two monitors/displays are detected by the app) *![](https://info.lexplore.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-May-20-2025-09-22-51-2290-AM.png?width=300&height=100&name=image-png-May-20-2025-09-22-51-2290-AM.png)* *![](https://info.lexplore.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-May-21-2025-08-33-04-6262-AM.png?width=303&height=71&name=image-png-May-21-2025-08-33-04-6262-AM.png)* If you need to configure the monitor/display settings for the test app to detect both displays (as example image shows above), read this guide first before proceeding with the actual calibration : **[Configure audio, external monitor and eyetracker](https://info.lexplore.com/en/support/configure-audio-external-monitor-and-eye-tracker-for-assessment?hsLang=en)** ### How to calibrate the external monitor/monitor the student will read from - Click on the icon for the monitors/displays ![](https://info.lexplore.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-May-23-2025-06-25-31-9697-AM.png?width=358&height=329&name=image-png-May-23-2025-06-25-31-9697-AM.png) - Click **"Calibrate Monitor",** and then you will see this text on the screen of the laptop.
