In addition to the remote reset switch, the controller has a built-in 4-position joystick. Moving
the joystick to and of the 4 quadrant positions (forward, right, back, left) will act the same as
depressing the corresponding quadrant position light on the face of the Saccadic Fixator. For
example, if the top outer light (twelve o'clock position) on the Saccadic Fixator is illuminated,
moving the joystick forward has the same effect as depressing the light/button.
The controller trigger can be used to start/stop/reset all of the pre-set programs stored in the
Saccadic Fixator, as well as any programs of your own creation. The controller joystick can be
used with the following pre-set programs:
9-18, 9-19, 9-34 Reaction time measurement
9-26, 9-27
Accommodative Rock board
9-32
Visual Stick-ups
9-41
Release/reaction time (move joystick to the forward position)
9-46
Automatic mode, 4 lights
9-47
Automatic mode with 2-second time out
All Balance Board programs can also be used; trainee moves the joystick to the correct position
to score.

Custom programs

In addition to the listed programs, it is possible to set up your own special programs that will
permit the use of the controller joystick. Some ideas are:
Self-pacing, timed for 30 second, 4 lights, random pattern. Move joystick to correct quad position
for sound and scored point.
Automatic pacing, 60 lights/minute, timed for 60 seconds, 4 lights, random pattern.
Visual memory, fast pace: lights flash on for 1/10 second followed 1/10 second later by next light.
Move joystick to light position in a series sequence, always starting from the first light. Set 4
lights, random pattern.
Sports vision--release/locate reaction time ("Reaction Plus"): similar to program 9-40. Lights will
appear only in quad positions. Move joystick to these positions for reaction time measurements.

Accommodative Rock Control Panel (ARC)

The ARC is a hand-held panel with 16 membrane key switches and a pushbutton that acts as an
extension of the Saccadic Fixator's start/stop/reset button. Each membrane key is labelled with a
letter and corresponds to one of the 16 lights on the Saccadic Fixator's outer circle; pressing a
key has the same effect as pressing the corresponding switch/light.
The ARC may be plugged directly into the Saccadic Fixator or into the Control Center Module
(required if Visual Stick-ups are being used or balance board integration is desired). The ARC is
