Configure a Two-button Serial Controller

Select your controller from the list and click Setup.

On the Settings tab, you can set stop zones and button actions according to your scrolling
requirements. It is also possible to change the speed at which the text moves using the Rates
tab.

If your computer has one serial port, the serial port menu shows as COM1 only.

To change to a different serial port from the one selected, unplug the scroll control from the
serial port and plug it into another one. (This may require you to restart your computer.)

Centre Stop Mode

The Centre Stop Mode is a setting that allows you to control the direction and speed of the
scrolling text using the knurled wheel. As the wheel passes the designated stop point, the
movement of the text will slow down and then change direction.

To enable this feature, select the Centre Stop Mode box.

Stop Point

To select a Stop Point, enter a value in the Stop Point field. This is a point during the turn of the
scroll wheel where scrolling stops. Values range from 0 to 63. By default, the value is 63, which
corresponds to a position approximately half way around the movement of the scroll wheel.
