Crosshairs symbol

Mouse selected

With

Mouse

selected, a “crosshairs” symbol appears on the screen. When

Mouse

is selected, the “crosshairs” symbol indicates the current mouse

position relative to the screen contents.

The light pen is still active (that is, still in control of the cursor position and
item selection) when

Mouse

is first selected; the mouse device control must

be activated in order to use the mouse.

To activate the mouse device: Push the left mouse device button to give the
mouse device control of the cursor.

To reactivate the light pen: Pick any part of the monitor screen with the
light pen.

When you are using a mouse, the CVIM module menu interface remains
basically the same – you still “highlight” and “pick” items on the screen.
Highlight a menu item by positioning the crosshairs over the menu item.

Use the mouse (or trackball) buttons as described below:

Left Button: Use to select the item which is currently highlighted.

Middle Button: Display/remove the help message (in setup mode).

Right Button: Cycle through the menu removal options (full

transparent

invisible).
