are for individual adjustment. When a
sensitivity is increased, the same movements
of the Magellan/SPACE MOUSE cap generate
quicker movements of the onscreen object.
Untick the boxes next to the individual
adjustment bars to turn off the corresponding
degrees of freedom. The Null Radius slider bar
is used to control the minimum displacement
of the cap necessary to cause movement of
the onscreen object. Increasing the null radius
may be helpful in work environments prone to
vibrations (e.g. industrial environments), which
may cause the Magellan/SPACE MOUSE to
register unintentional movements. With some
applications it may be necessary to tick
Exchange Y and Z Translation . For nonlinear
sensitivity see Options
Application
The application selected during installation is
highlighted in the scroll bar menu. If you wish
to use the Magellan/SPACE MOUSE with a
different application, select the new application
from the scroll bar menu and click Save in the
Panel section of the MCC window. If you wish
to use the Magellan/SPACE MOUSE with more
than one application, select a different panel in
the Panel section before choosing the
application and clicking Save . The MCC
automatically switches to the panel settings of
the active application. Customized MCC
settings may be saved for up to four different
applications; see Panel. Click Default to return
the settings in the 3D Modes , Sensitivity and
Single Axis Dial sections of the MCC main
window to their defaults. For several common
applications an Internal Sensitivity slider bar is
also present, which is used to adjust the
overall sensitivity of the Magellan/SPACE
MOUSE.
Buttons
As an alternative to manually pressing the
buttons on the Magellan/SPACE MOUSE, these
software buttons may be clicked with the 2D
mouse cursor to execute the default functions
assigned to the corresponding hardware
buttons. (For the Magellan/SPACE MOUSE
Classic, the plus [ + ] and minus [ - ] buttons are
present on the software keyboard but have no
effect.) Holding the 2D mouse cursor over one
of these software buttons displays two lines of
information text. The first line shows the
function mapped to the corresponding
hardware button. The second line shows the
function that is executed by pressing the
software button itself.
Window.
The Buttons section is also used to map
arbitrary key sequences as commands onto
any of the Magellan/SPACE MOUSE hardware
buttons. To map a new command onto a
button, select the button number from the
scroll bar menu. The current function and
mapping code of the selected button are
displayed in the fields Meaning and Mapping
Code . Click Programming to open the
Mapping Window. After remapping a button,
the user should enter a new description in the
Meaning field.
Button Info opens a small window that
displays the key sequence mapped to the
hardware buttons whenever they are pressed.
Default resets all button mappings to their
defaults.
Panel
Click Save to save the current MCC
configuration. Click Quit to quit the MCC (note
that quitting the MCC does NOT stop the X-
Window driver). Anytime changes are made
anywhere in the MCC window, the Save button
is highlighted red, indicating that the current
changes have not been saved. Restore
appears when unsaved changes have been
made, which can be used to undo any
unwanted changes. The four colored buttons
numbered 1 through 4 can be used to save up
to four independent configurations. The
configurations can be for different settings
within the same CAD application or they can
be associated with different applications (see
also Application). The background color of the
MCC window changes to match the color of the
numbered button of the active panel. Help
opens a small window for launching the
xdriver.htm help file. Click Options to open the
Options Window.
Support Window
The configuration settings can be
interactively tested with a 3D cube demo
program by clicking 3D Cube . Note that it is
not possible to test the default functions of
the standard keyboard with the 3D Cube
demo program. Alternatively, click 3D Values
to open a small window that displays both
the analog values of all six degree-of-
freedom inputs as well as the events
corresponding to each pressed key. By
clicking Event Window and then clicking into
the window of the target application, all
events generated by the Magellan/SPACE
MOUSE are sent to this application, no
matter which application is active.
