Appendix

Connecting and Using a Mouse
With the USER-PAK option installed, the Color CVIM module user has the
option of connecting and using a mouse, instead of the light pen, for
interacting with the Color CVIM module menus. This appendix describes
the hardware requirements and considerations, physical connections, and
simple configuration requirements for connecting and using a mouse.
Note: The term “mouse,” as used in this appendix, refers to any supported
mouse-type interface device – including a trackball.
In order to connect and use a mouse, you must have in addition to a Cat. No.
5370-CVIMC module and peripheral equipment, the following hardware:
•
Cat. No. 2801-N27 I/O Interface box (with dual serial ports)
•
Cat. No. 2801-NC17 (connecting cable, Color CVIM module to I/O box)
•
Supported mouse device (see “Types of Mouse and Trackball Supported”)
•
9-pin male/male gender changer (for connecting to serial port A only)
If you connect the mouse to port A of the I/O interface box, since port A
is a female connector, you will need to use a male/male gender changer
between the mouse connector and serial port A.
You can connect the mouse directly to port B of the I/O interface box.
In order use the mouse, you must configure the Color CVIM module
appropriately. That is, you must set the serial port to which you are
connecting the mouse to
Mouse protocol. To do this, with the Color CVIM
module in setup mode, perform the following steps (see Figure A.1, page
A – 2):
•
Pick the Envir/Cam box to open the Envir/Cam menu.
•
Pick the I/O box to open the I/O menu.
•
Pick the RS/232 A box, if you are connecting the mouse to serial port A.
Pick the RS/232 B box, if you are connecting the mouse to serial port B.
•
Pick the Mouse box on the Protocol menu.
