Hardware Connection and Powerup Check

The CVIM2 system supports most serial mouse and trackball pointing
devices that are IBM PC
 compatible. The following devices have been
tested and have been found to work with the CVIM2 system:
•
Logictech
 Model C7–3F–9F
•
Logictech
 Model CC–93–9F
•
Microsoft
 Model LR 87483
•
Mouse Systems Model 900800–001/A
•
Clix Model CX–30
•
Interlink Electronics Durapoint (exceeds NEMA 4X, 6P, and 13)
•
Mouse Systems Model TP–305 (trackball)
After you power up the CVIM2 module, if the mouse pointer will not “track”
the mouse as you move it across a table top or other flat surface, and you are
using one of the above–listed devices, use the light pen to examine the
current serial communication port configuration and reconfigure, if
necessary, the specific port that you intend to use for mouse operation.
NOTE: When a port is configured for mouse operation, it cannot be used
for other data communication purposes.
To configure a serial communication port for mouse operation, use the light
pen to pick
Environment in the main menu bar. When the Environment
menu appears, pick Comm Ports. When you do, the Comm Ports menu
appears, as illustrated by the example in Figure 1.4 (page 1–11).
In the example, it is assumed that the mouse is connected to PORT B of the
I/O interface box and the I/O interface cable is connected to the System I/O
connector on the CVIM2 front panel. In this case, you would pick System
I/O Port B in the Comm Ports menu.
When you pick System I/O Port B , the System I/O Port B setup table
appears, as shown in Figure 1.4. When you then pick Mouse in the small
scrolling list, the appropriate mouse settings for baud rate, parity, data bit,
and stop bit parameters in the setup table “lock” at the values shown in the
figure.
