[. . . ] The panel's LightBoard function can be controlled with the optional Cyclops or a Microsoft-compatible mouse. The Presentation Control Software can be controlled using the Remote Control.
The Control Panel and Remote Control
The Control Panel and Remote Control provide access to all of the projection panel's functions and modes. Simply press a key to select a function or to move through the menus.
Using a Microsoft-Compatible Mouse
A Microsoft-compatible mouse can be used to control the menu and the LightBoard tool in Local Mode and as a system mouse in Host Mode (see page 3-7). The mouse must be connected to the serial port on the projection panel before powering up the panel.
Note:
A Microsoft mouse driver must be loaded and running on the computer system for Host Mode functions. In addition, in order to control the host computer with Cyclops or with a mouse attached to the panel, an optional data cable must be attached between the panel and the computer. Contact your dealer to purchase the appropriate data cable.

Operating Modes
The panel and its control devices can operate in two modes: Local Mode and Host Mode.
Local Mode
Anytime the panel's menus or LightBoard are activated, the panel is in Local Mode. In Local Mode, the projection panel mouse or the optional Cyclops is used for projection panel menu and LightBoard functions only; it does not communicate with the computer. In Local Mode, the projection panel mouse or Cyclops can be used to: · Move through an open projection panel menu. · Control the LightBoard cursor.

Host Mode
If a mouse or Cyclops and a data cable are connected to the panel, it can also operate in the Host Mode. Host Mode can only be used when the panel's menu and LightBoard are not active. This means that the panel and its control devices are communicating directly with the host computer. In Host Mode, the projection panel mouse functions as the system mouse. It communicates with the computer and controls the screen cursor for all computer functions. · If the projection panel's I/O port is sensed first during the computer's start-up, the projection panel mouse becomes the system mouse and the computer mouse is not seen. · If the computer mouse is seen first and the user wants the panel mouse to be the system mouse, the user must switch the mouse and projection panel ports and restart the computer. · If you are in Host Mode and the panel menus or LightBoard are selected, the projection panel mouse is forced to Local mode operation until those functions are turned off. Please refer to the Cyclops 2050 User Guide for projection panel Host Mode mouse operation with a Cyclops module installed.

The Graphical User Interface
Your projection system features a graphical user interface that allows easy control of menus and your panel's many functions. You will find that each interface method discussed below provides you with increasing power over your presentation system.
Control Panel and Remote Control
Menu selections can be easily made with the Control Panel or the Remote Control. When a menu is selected, the currently active settings are highlighted. Use the Left and Right arrow keys to move across the menus to the setting to be changed. Settings are automatically saved when the menus are exited or the projection panel is turned off.
Controlling Menus with a Mouse
If a Microsoft-compatible mouse is connected to the projection panel's SERIAL port, menu selections are even easier. When the menus are open, simply point at a desired selection and click to select or change it.
