Introduction to Magellan/SPACE MOUSE

Magellan/SPACE MOUSE is a 3D input device that is used to control the position and orientation of 3D graphical objects in virtual space. The device controls three translational degrees of freedom (X, Y and Z) and three rotational degrees of freedom (A, B and C).

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.

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/ 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

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

ergonomic design allows the hand to rest on the device without fatigue.

Displacement Range

The cap may be shifted up to ±1.5 mm in the translational directions. The cap may be rotated up to ±4 degrees about the rotational axes.

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.

Installation

To install the Magellan/SPACE MOUSE device and driver software on UNIX systems, 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;

 the product documentation; and

 a serial port adapter (if required for the

system specified at the time of order).

Hardware Installation

The Magellan/SPACE MOUSE has a serial interface cable with a 9-pin female connector, which must be connected to the proper serial port (RS232 or V24) of your UNIX workstation. The Magellan/SPACE MOUSE cable either plugs directly into the serial port at the back of the workstation or may require a separate adapter cable, which has been included if required. TURN OFF the workstation before connecting the Magellan/SPACE MOUSE. Once the connections have been made, you can restore power to the workstation. For further information see the related appendices listed below.

Starting the Driver for the First Time

After the system has copied the X-Window driver, the driver must be started for the first time and configured. The driver demands sequential information in procedure, which it then stores in a fixed configuration table. The file name of the configuration table is

xdriver.ini /usr/magellan

. It is saved in the directory

(the same directory in which the X-Window driver is installed). While activating the X-Window driver, it searches for the configuration table and uses the information stored there.

Local Installation

Create a subdirectory for the Magellan/ SPACE MOUSE driver.

mkdir ./magellan chmod 777 ./magellan cd ./magellan

Uninstalling the X-Window Driver

To uninstall a global installation, use the following command:

/usr/magellan/xdriver –disableinit

To uninstall a local installation, simply remove the

xdriver

entry from the start-up file.

Magellan/SPACE MOUSE Keyboard

The keyboard of the Magellan/SPACE MOUSE operates on two levels: the so-called "standard" or top-level keyboard and the second-level keyboard.

Common Functions

Several functions that are common to these two levels are described below.

Translation ON/OFF

Turns the translational degrees of freedom (inputs X, Y and Z) on or off. Turning translation off fixes the "screen position" of the onscreen object. The default is ON.

Rotation ON/OFF

Turns the rotational degrees of freedom (inputs A, B and C) on or off. Turning rotation off fixes the orientation of the onscreen object. The default is ON.

Dominant Mode ON/OFF;

When dominant mode is on, only the input of the greatest magnitude is registered, i.e. the onscreen object moves in only one direction at a time. This can be a translational or rotational direction. Dominant mode is especially helpful when learning how to use the Magellan/SPACE MOUSE. The default is OFF.

Gain Down; Decrease Sensitivity

Decreases the sensitivity of the Magellan/ SPACE MOUSE. The same movements of the cap will produce a slower movement of the object. Each time the key is pressed, the sensitivity decreases by one half.

Gain Up; Increase Sensitivity

Increases the sensitivity of the Magellan/ SPACE MOUSE. The same movements of the cap will produce a faster movement of the object. Each time the key is pressed, the sensitivity doubles.

Gain Default; Default Sensitivity

Returns the Magellan/SPACE MOUSE back to the standard sensitivity.

Standard Keyboards of Common Applications

Functions of the standard keyboard are executed simply by pressing and releasing any one of the nine buttons of the Magellan/SPACE

MOUSE Classic or the eleven buttons of the Magellan/SPACE MOUSE Plus and Plus XT. The default function assigned to each button varies with the application used. Standard keyboards for some common CAD applications are listed below. Note that the functions of the standard keyboard may be customized by the user via the Magellan/SPACE MOUSE driver. See Button

Dialbox Simulation

Unlike the single axis dial feature, a real dialbox is simulated using the dialbox simulation mode. This is only necessary for some applications that do not support Magellan/SPACE MOUSE but that do support dialboxes. The functions of the tickboxes numbered 1 through 8 correspond to the default functions that your CAD application would normally assign the eight wheels of a dialbox. Select a degree of freedom by ticking one of the eight tickboxes or by pressing the corresponding hardware button. Twist the cap about the Y-axis (i.e. in the plane of the base of the Magellan/SPACE MOUSE). This executes the same motion as that obtained by turning the corresponding wheel on a real dialbox.

Selecting onscreen object in more than one degree of freedom at a time. The cap must then be moved and twisted in the normal, intuitive directions (i.e. not only about the Y-axis). Click

Connecting to the RS232 Serial Port

The Magellan/SPACE MOUSE is equipped with a 9-pin D-Sub female connector. The wiring of this connector matches any IBM-compatible PC with a 9-pin serial connector. To use the Magellan/SPACE MOUSE with other computers, check the pin functions against the list shown below and verify whether the Magellan/SPACE MOUSE connector wiring matches your system. If not, you must use an appropriate adapter cable to connect the Magellan/SPACE MOUSE wiring to that of your computer.

Pin Meaning

Case Shield Case

2TxD RxD 3RxD TxD 4 Supply DTR 5GND GND 7CTS RTS 8RTS CTS

The use of the handshake signals (CTS, DTR and RTS) is absolutely necessary for the safe operation of the Magellan/ SPACE MOUSE. Without these handshake signals, loss of data will occur. Additionally, the signal lines (DTR and RTS) are used to supply power to the Magellan/SPACE MOUSE. Thus no external power supply is required. The minimum output voltage has to be 5 V, providing a output current of 9 mA on both signal lines.

Communication via the serial port using the XON/XOFF protocol is supported by the Magellan/SPACE MOUSE, but the handshake signals (CTS, DTR and RTS) are needed for safe operation. Thus the status of the handshake signals has to be carefully checked and treated by the computer. To activate the Magellan/SPACE MOUSE, these signals should have a positive (active) level.

Connecting to IBM RS6000 Workstations

The IBM–Magellan/SPACE MOUSE adapters for 25-pin and 9-pin D-Sub male RS232 ports use the wiring schemes shown in the following diagrams.

Connecting to SGI Workstations

If the 8-pin mini-DIN female RS232 connector on an SGI workstation is used, the converteradapter cable shown in the following diagram is required. The cable changes the mini-DIN connector to that of the Magellan/SPACE MOUSE and converts, if necessary, the 4 V

output voltage of the SGI port handshake signals to 5 V and 10 mA to supply the Magellan/SPACE MOUSE. The input handshake signals CTS and DCD of the workstation are not connected in order to save some current taken from the workstation’s output handshake signals DTR and RTS.

Different SGI workstations—despite somewhat similar connector types—show different voltage and current conditions at the serial RS232 port. One example is a Personal IRIX workstation, which offers such a low current (and voltage) handshake signal that the Magellan/SPACE MOUSE (as well as any standard mouse) is not able to operate due to a lack of current. In such cases, only an external power supply (min. 5.0 V, max. 11.0 V, 9 mA DC) into the DTR pin of the Magellan/ SPACE MOUSE will solve the problem. An appropriate adapter cable with external power supply has been included in the product package based on the system specified at the time of order. However, if an adapter with the external power supply feature has not been included with your Magellan/SPACE MOUSE or should you discover after ordering that your SGI machine requires an external power supply, please contact the LogiCad3D Support Center listed for your area.

Connecting to SUN Workstations

To install the Magellan/SPACE MOUSE on SUN workstations, make sure that the hardware configuration of the serial port to which you want to connect the Magellan/SPACE MOUSE is set to RS232. configuration is required in order to supply control voltages to the Magellan/SPACE MOUSE through the handshake signal lines. To configure the port to RS232, follow the steps in your SUN user handbook. The wiring scheme of the SUN–Magellan/SPACE MOUSE adapter is shown below.
