9-12
Port — Serial port to which the space mouse is connected. Possible values are
USB1...USB4 and COM1...COM4.
Output Type — This field specifies how the inputs from the device are transformed:
• Speed — No transformations are done. Outputs are translation and rotation speeds.
• Position — Translations and rotations are integrated. Outputs are position and
orientation in the form of roll/pitch/yaw angles.
• Viewpoint coordinates — Translations and rotations are integrated. Outputs are
position and orientation in the form of an axis and an angle. You can use these values
as viewpoint coordinates in VRML.
Dominant mode — If this check box is selected, the mouse accepts only the prevailing
movement and rotation and ignores the others. This mode is very useful for beginners
using space mouse input.
Disable rotation movement — Fixes the positions at the initial values, allowing you to
change rotations only.
Disable position movement — Fixes the rotations at initial values, allowing you to
change positions only.
Normalize output angle — Determines whether the integrated rotation angles should
wrap on a full circle (360°) or not. This is not used when you set the Output Type to
Speed.
Limit position — Determines whether you can limit the upper and lower positions of
the mouse.
Position sensitivity — Mouse sensitivity for translations. Higher values correspond to
higher sensitivity.
Rotation sensitivity — Mouse sensitivity for rotations. Higher values correspond to
higher sensitivity.
Initial position — Initial condition for integrated translations. This is not used when
you set the Output Type to Speed.
Initial rotation — Initial condition for integrated rotations. This is not used when you
set the Output Type to Speed.
Lower position limit — Position coordinates for the lower limit of the mouse.
