Magellan/SpaceMouse User`s Manual

1. How Magellan SPACE MOUSE Controls Six Degrees of Freedom Moving the onscreen object is as easy as moving the Magellan SPACE MOUSE cap Shift the cap right or left to move the onscreen object horizontally through space Pull the cap up or press it down to move the object vertically through space Pull the cap toward the user or press it away to zoom in and out Rotate the cap about the desired axis to rotate the onscreen object Note that the values input by Magellan SPACE MOUSE are not interpreted as absolute position commands but as velocity commands When the cap is displaced translationally or rotationally by a constant amount a distance measurement the graphical object is assigned a continuous speed in the same direction a velocity measurement The magnitude of the cap s displacement determines the magnitude of the onscreen object s velocity Two Hands for Intuitive Control Magellan SPACE MOUSE allows for simultaneous control of six degrees of freedom with only one hand When used in conjunction with a 3D CAD application it takes over the functions of the viewing and supply hand e g for a right handed person this is the left hand The working hand e g the right hand operates the conventional 2D mouse This corresponds to the natural way of working with real objects and therefore supports intuitive creativity when generating and manipulating 3D objects in a CAD application How to Optimally Handle Magellan

6. Increasing the overall absorption may be helpful in work environments with vibrations e g industrial environments which may cause the Magellan SPACE MOUSE to register unintentional movements Nonlinear Sensitivity Activating the nonlinear sensitivity option makes the Magellan SPACE MOUSE increasingly sensitive as the cap is displaced further from the center This function is useful if you want to be able to execute both small accurate movements of the onscreen object as well as large guick motions such as zooming in and out without always needing to adjust the overall sensitivity of the device Tick the box to activate the nonlinear sensitivity option and use the slider bars to individually adjust the settings for translation and rotation Translation Sensitivity Use the slider bars to individually adjust the sensitivities of each translational degree of freedom As an example it may be useful to have faster zoom response Z sensitivity than pan response X and Y sensitivity As the sensitivity is increased the same movements of the Magellan SPACE MOUSE cap will generate guicker translations of the onscreen object Use the tickboxes next to the adjustment bars to toggle on and off the individual degrees of freedom Click Default Sensitivity to reset all three slider bars to their default settings For some CAD applications it may be necessary to tick the Change Y Z Axis tickbox which swaps the Y and Z inputs Rotati
7. SPACE MOUSE Spread three or four fingertips around the cap and gently shift and twist it Apply only light fingertip pressure to the cap DO NOT grasp the entire cap in your hand It does not matter whether the right or left hand is used No shoulder or wrist movement is necessary The ergonomic design allows the hand to rest on the device without fatigue Magellan SPACE MOUSE Measurement System The cap movements are measured inside the cap by a worldwide patented optoelectronic measuring system The cap is suspended by springs and always returns to its initial position Displacement Range The cap may be shifted up to 21 5 mm in the translational directions The cap may be rotated up to 4 degrees about the rotational axes Installation To install the Magellan SPACE MOUSE device and driver software on systems running Windows 95 98 ME NT 3 51 or higher or 2000 see the information below For help with installation problems see Troubleshooting Package Contents The product package contains a 3D input device Magellan SPACE MOUSE Classic Plus or Plus XT a CD ROM containing the driver software and the product documentation Hardware Installation Magellan SPACE MOUSE is eguipped with either a 9 pin female serial connector or a USB connector Installation of each connection type is described below Serial Connection Turn off the machine before connecting the Magellan SPACE MOUSE Plu
