Advanced Shuttle Wheel Techniques

For certain applications it may be beneficial to program an action that is (or is not) produced when the shuttle

wheel is returning to the Shuttle Center position.

Notice how the Action menu has two types of action for the Shuttle: basic settings (Figure 1) of Shuttle Left 1-7

and Shuttle Right 1-7 commands, as well as the more advanced settings (Figure 2) of Shuttle from Left 1 to Left 2,

Shuttle Left 2 to Left 3 etc. Note that these settings are all part of the same drop-down menu.

The basic settings perform the same function when the wheel is turned back to the center position as when it was

turned to any of the right or left positions. For example, if you programmed the shuttle wheel to produce a right

arrow keystroke for positions Shuttle Right 1 through 7, as you turn the shuttle from the Shuttle Center position all

the way to the Shuttle Right 7 position (90 degree to the right), the keyboard would produce seven right arrow key-

strokes. As you turn the shuttle wheel and return it to the Shuttle Center position, another seven right arrow key-

strokes will be produced.

With the advanced settings, you can control what keystrokes the shuttle produces when it is returned to the Shuttle

Center position. To take advantage of this feature, you must program both directions of the shuttle turning using

the advanced settings. For example, if you wanted to have the shuttle produce keystrokes while turning it from the

Shuttle Center to the Shuttle Right 7 but not when it returns to the Shuttle Center position, you must do the follow-

ing:

1. Select Shuttle From Center to Right (or Left) 1

2. Select the desired keystroke

3. Select From Right (or Left) 1 to Right (or Left) 2

4. Select the desired keystroke

5. Repeat this until you have reached Shuttle position 7

Now program the shuttle’s return to the Shuttle Center position

1. Select Shuttle From Right (or Left) 7 to Right (or Left) 6

2. Select the desired keystroke (for this example, None).

3. Repeat this until you have reached the Shuttle Center position

As you can see, there is great flexibility when programming the shuttle functions. With a little experimentation, you

will most likely be able to achieve the results you desire.
