Two types of button configurations exist:
Two Button Configuration: Two buttons are programmed for use by PC-DMIS (even though three buttons exist). The two buttons indicated in the image at left perform the same function. See "Two Button Configuration". |
|
Three Button Configuration: Three buttons are programmed for use by PC-DMIS. The buttons have color-coded dots. See "Three Button Configuration". |
Mouse Mode
PC-DMIS lets you place your portable device into Mouse mode. This special mode lets you perform standard mouse pointer actions (move the pointer, click, or right-click, etc.) inside PC-DMIS. You can do this by moving the arm and probe head around and pressing buttons to perform mouse "clicks". PC-DMIS interprets the motion as if you were using a standard mouse. This allows you to remain with your portable device rather than continually switching between device and computer.
When PC-DMIS is in Mouse mode, if you attempt to pick up and use your regular mouse, it behaves erratically. To use your regular mouse, exit out of Mouse mode.
Mouse mode also functions outside of PC-DMIS, but PC-DMIS must remain running and be minimized in the background.
For more information on how to use Mouse mode, see the "Two Button Configuration" and "Three Button Configuration" topics.
