How do I use an alternative pointer with MiniMerc?

If you want to use an alternative pointer with MiniMerc, you will need a Windows-compatible

USB mouse emulator such as the Tracker

Pro from Madentec Ltd. or the HeadMouse

Extreme

from Origin Instruments.

An alternative pointer provides a way to point to an object, but not always a way to select it. This

means that you will need a switch (hardware) or a dwell utility (software) to select an object.

Check the documentation that came with your head pointing device for more information. If you

will be selecting objects with a switch, you will need a momentary contact switch with a standard

1/8-inch plug. If you are not using a switch, use a dwell utility such as Dragger32™ from Origin

Instruments, Magic Cursor 2000 from Madentec, or SmartClick from RJ Cooper & Associates. Call

ATI at 1-800-793-9227 for product details.
