Appendix
A–1
Connecting and Using a Mouse
With the USER–PAK option installed, the CVIM module user has the option
of connecting and using a mouse, instead of the light pen, for interacting with
the CVIM module menus. This appendix describes the hardware
requirements and considerations, physical connections, and configuration
required 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 your Cat.
No. 5370–CVIM 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, CVIM module to I/O box)
•
Supported mouse device (see “Types of Mouse and Trackball Supported”)
•
9–pin Male/Male gender changer (for CVIM module series A hardware
only)
Connections – CVIM Module Hardware Series A and B
You can connect and use a mouse with any hardware series of the CVIM
module. However, the hardware considerations differ somewhat, depending
on whether you are using CVIM module series A hardware, or series B (or
later) hardware version.
Series A: If you are using the CVIM module Series A hardware, you must
connect the mouse to port A of the I/O interface box. In addition, 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.
Series B or later: If you are using the CVIM module Series B or later
hardware, you can connect the mouse directly to port B of the I/O interface
box.
In order use the mouse, you must configure the 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 CVIM module in setup mode, perform
the following steps:
•
Pick the Env. box to open the Env. menu.
