The SimCapture Paging Station allows you to communicate with learners and Standardized Patients across multiple rooms using a microphone and speaker setup. With this tool, you can speak into one, multiple, or all rooms simultaneously, while listening to only one room at a time.

Best Practices for Software Paging with SimCapture

Use a dual monitor setup:

• One screen for the Paging Station app.
• One screen for SimCapture.

Mute volume in SimCapture, not on your PC, to avoid audio latency.

When new users log into the control PC:

1. Install the app using Simcapture_Paging_Station_0.1.9.msix.
2. Open the app to verify installation (no rooms/groups should appear).
3. Close the app.
4. Copy the AudioModules.json file to: C:\Users\<new user>\AppData\Local\Packages\3B3BA5EC-A97F-474B-83CB-E60EB06AE8FA_<character string>\LocalState\ (Replace the existing file. Admin rights required.)
5. Reopen the app to confirm the configuration loads correctly.
