Notes ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ [A] OVERVIEW ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This document contains information on the CyReL Serial Mouse Utilities and device drivers that enhance the performance of your ATARI system. A utility program supports the operation of the computer by providing system management capabilities. It extends the scope of the features provided by the built-in operating system, making your working environment more responsive and comfortable to use. A device driver is software that controls and communicates directly with system hardware, hardware expansion modules and other peripherals. With the CyReL Serial Mouse Manager software you can do the following: = Customize and enhance your system. = Take advantage of industry standard high resolution serial mice compatible with the MS-Mouse or PC-Mouse format. = Use any of the built-in serial ports. = Advanced mouse speed control features including ballistic response, dynamic speed regulation and mouse resolution compensation. = Use any graphics tablet compatible with the Summagraphics MM series. = Improve performance of your operating system and interaction accuracy with your application programs. = Configure your system input devices for optimum performance. = Supports the CyReL M16-1280 True Color High Resolution Graphic Cards. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ [B] About the Software ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The CyReL Serial Mouse Driver and the Serial Mouse manager are included on this disk. The installation of the driver and the utility will not interfere with the behaviour of the original ATARI (or ATARI compatible) mouse. After the installation of the software, either the serial or the original mouse may be used at any time. Throughout this document, serial mouse may either be considered a MS-Mouse compatible serial mouse, a MSC compatible mouse or a Summagraphics MM series graphic tablet or compatible product emulating the operation of a mouse. This release is a demo version only. The package is being distributed as shareware. Refer to section [G] for more information on how to order the full edition. Licensing agreements available. The software can be installed in any system supporting these requirements: = ATARI TOS1.2 or later = at least one free RS-232 port supporting up to 9600 baud. = minimum screen resolution: 320x200 = DB-25 25-pin to DB-9 9-pin RS-232 adapter in case your system does not feature any 9-pin serial port required by most of the mice. (Note: some serial mouse vendors include such interface adapters) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ [C] How to Install the Serial Mouse Driver ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Copy the SERMOUSE.PRG file into the AUTO folder of your boot drive. NOTES: The SERMOUSE.PRG file can be executed at any time. However it must reside in the AUTO folder in case you intend to permanently install the accompaning CYRELSMM.ACC accessory! The driver features a built-in mouse accelerator and screen saver. Thus no other screen timers or accelerator programs might be necessary. Disable or delete any such programs in your AUTO folder. Make sure the SERMOUSE.PRG program will be executed after any other AUTO folder program that may change the configuration or system usage of your serial ports. Programs in your AUTO folder are executed in their physical order. To view the order of the files in your AUTO folder use either one of the many available public domain AUTO folder sort programs or do the following: From your GEM desktop menu, select 'No Sort' (not available in some older TOS versions) and 'Show as Text'. Open the AUTO folder of your boot drive. You should now be able to verify the order in which your AUTO folder programs will be executed. If you need to change the order of these files, use one of the mentioned sort programs or follow these simple steps: Note: If you like to take precautions, make a copy of your AUTO folder on any of your hard disk drives or on floppy disk, then continue with step 1. 1. Create a new folder on your boot drive. Example: 'NEWAUTO' 2. Copy all files of your old AUTO folder into the new folder in the order they should be executed, copying the SERMOUSE.PRG after any program affecting the serial ports. If you are using the CyReL M16-1280 True Color High Resolution Graphic Cards, make sure to copy the SERMOUSE.PRG after (!) the CM16_VIP.PRG file. 3. Delete your old AUTO folder. 4. Rename the 'NEWAUTO' (or the name you have choosen for the folder) into 'AUTO'. The installation of the SERMOUSE.PRG during the boot process can be blocked by simultaneously pressing the 'left-SHIFT' and 'right-SHIFT' keys. A question will be displayed, giving the user the option to continue or abort the installation. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ [D] How to Install the Serial Mouse Manager ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The CyReL Serial Mouse Manager can be either used as: (1) a permanently installed accessory, (2) as a temporary installed accessory or (3) as a normal GEM program. (1) Installing the Mouse Manager as a permanently installed accessory: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Copy the CYRELSMM.ACC file into the root directory of your boot drive. The order of the *.ACC files is not relevant. However if you installed any other accessories or CPX modules that change the configuration and/or operating modes of your serial ports, either disable the accessories or follow these simple steps: 1. Run all of these accessories (like the CONTROL.ACC or MODEM.CPX module) 2. Configure the port you intend to use for the serial mouse as follows: 1200 Baud 7 Data bits 1 Stop bit No parity for a MS-Mouse compatible mouse or 1200 Baud 8 Data bits 1 Stop bit No Parity for a PC-Mouse compatible mouse or 9600 Baud 8 Data bits 1 Stop bit Odd Parity for a Summagraphics MM series tablet 3. If possible, save this new serial port configuration. Reset your system to re-boot all the accessories, run the serial mouse driver and initialize the serial mouse utility. NOTE: For more convenience, make sure to copy the SERMOUSE.PRG file into your AUTO folder (see section [C]) if you intend to permanently install the CyReL Serial Mouse Manager. (2) Installing the Mouse Manager as a temporary installed accessory: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This mode requires the presence of an accessory manager like CHAMELEON from Karsten Isakovic or MultiDesk Deluxe from Charles F. Johnson. Follow the instructions included with these programs. (3) Using the Mouse Manager as a *.PRG file: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Copy the CYRELSMM.PRG file into any folder on your hard disk. The program will display a warning in case it cannot locate the SERMOUSE.PRG. NOTE: Both programs are necessary to allow the proper function of the serial mouse driver and the utility. If you do not wish to install the SERMOUSE.PRG in the AUTO folder, always run the SERMOUSE.PRG first, then run the CYRELSMM.PRG . ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ [E] How to Use the Serial Mouse Manager ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ If you are reading this document from within an editor, install the CYRELSMM.ACC file as an accessory and call up the Mouse Manager for an interactive tutorial session. THE MAIN MENU PAGE: The main menu of the Mouse Manager can be divided into three sections: 1. the Screen Saver section 2. the Threshold/Mouse Port section and 3. the Control Buttons section 1. The Screen Saver ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Screen savers or timers help to preserve the cathode ray tube of your monitor. Prolonged display of a steady image can cause a 'burn-in' of the actual image into the surface of the screen resulting in ghosted images, reduced clarity and annoying patterns. Screen timers avoid such situations by closely monitoring your mouse and keyboard activities and measuring the time delays between such inputs. If there has been no user interaction after a certain pre-defined time, the screen saver either blanks the screen or automatically changes the display contents to prevent the described undesireable effects. The screen timer restores the original display contents as soon as the user continues to use the keyboard or mouse. The screen saver function implemented in the CyReL Mouse Manager first switches the display to dark blue (or reverse video for monochrome) after the user defined screen timer delay has expired and then continues to flash the display using the value set by the screen timer flash interval. This function has been implemented to remind the user of the 'dormant' state of his system and enabling him to distinguish this wait phase from an idle running monitor. If you wish to enable or disable the screen timer feature of the Mouse Manager, click on the appropriate check-box. The ATARI monitor icon and check- box controls the screen timer for the normal ATARI graphics/video output, the CYRELL M16 icon and check-box controls the screen timer for the CyReL M16-1280 True Color High Resolution Graphic Cards. The M16 screen timer option is disabled if there is no M16 card installed in your system. Two parameters are being used to control the screen timer: DELAY and FLASH. Both can range from 2 to 999 seconds. The pre-set values are 120 seconds for DELAY and 5 second intervals for FLASH. To change the values either click on the arrow buttons or on the parameter value itself. If you clicked on the value box, a new dialog will appear and you may define the appropriate parameter more accurately. 2. The Threshold/Mouse Port Selection ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This section allows you to define the 'agility' or responsiveness of your original mouse and the serial mouse. Since you can define a mouse speed translation table you have to tell the mouse driver when to use the table and when not. There are two parameters associated with this function: the ATARI mouse THRESHOLD and the serial mouse THRESHOLD. Both can range from 0 to 99 timer units. The pre-set values are 8 timer units for both parameters. To change the values either click on the arrow buttons or on the parameter value itself. If you clicked on the value box, a new dialog will appear and you may define the appropriate parameter more accurately. The mouse driver uses a timer to determine the duration between two consecutive mouse movements. The value obtained by measuring the pauses in the mouse movements is then compared against the user-defined THRESHOLD parameter. The mouse speed translation table will be used to adjust the speed of the mouse if the measured pause is smaller than the value set by the corresponding parameter. The translation table can be defined by the user. Refer to the OPTIONS MENU PAGE description for more details. Should the measured pause exceed the THRESHOLD parameter, no modification of the mouse speed takes place. To completely disable the speed translation feature, set the corresponding THRESHOLD parameter to zero. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ THRESHOLD=0 no speed translation pause between movements > THRESHOLD no speed translation pause between movements <= THRESHOLD speed translation enabled ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Try to set the THRESHOLD parameters to different values and experiment with them. It is best to set them individually according to your own habits and level of comfort. Go to the OPTIONS menu page to change the mouse speed translation table. Further you can select the RS-232 port you intend to use for the serial mouse: use the MOUSE PORT selector to define the RS-232 port for the mouse. To change the port, click on the arrow buttons. The following abbreviations are used to describe the ports: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ID | Port | System ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ M1 | Modem 1 | 1040, MEGA, MEGA STE, TT030 M2 | Modem 2 | MEGA STE, TT030, Falcon 030 S1 | Serial 1 | MEGA STE, TT030 S2 | Serial 2 | TT030 cc | current channel* | MEGA STE, TT030, Falcon 030 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ * = Selects the channel that is mapped in as the current serial port. Use the MODEM.CPX to define/change the current port. NOTE: The Mouse Manager will report an error if an attempt is made to use any invalid serial ports on machines that do not support the specified channel and/or the related operating system functions. However if a TOS upgrade package has been installed that supports more channels than the actual number of ports present in that particular system (e.g. TOS2.06 upgrade in a 1040) the operating system will automatically re-route all request for higher channels to the existing ones. 3. The Control Buttons ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ There are four control buttons available: the SAVE button, the OPTIONS button the OK and CANCEL button Click on the SAVE button to save your selected configuration. Click on the OPTIONS button to change the mouse speed translation table, the mouse format selection and other features. Click on the OK button to update the mouse driver and activate all changes. Click on the CANCEL button to exit without updating any parameters. All values will be reset to the settings at the last start of the program/accessory. THE SAVE CONFIGURATION MENU PAGE: The SAVE option has not been included in this demo release. Users are presented with the instructions on how to order the full edition. THE OPTIONS MENU PAGE: The options menu of the Mouse Manager is divided into five sections: 1. the Mouse Speed Translation Table display, 2. the Mouse Speed Translation Table parameters section, 3. the Mouse Format Selector, 4. the Mouse Function Features section, and 5. the Control Buttons 1. The Mouse Speed Translation Table Display ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The right hand side of the menu shows the mouse speed curve. It depicts how your mouse will react to your movements. The pre-set values are configured to give you twice the speed on the screen than of your actual mouse movements. Every time you run the Mouse Manager, the mouse response curve is set automatically to this configuration regardless of your actual selection. This feature has been added to provide an accurate mouse response, even if the user-defined mouse speed parameters make it uncomfortable to use the it. It is important to remember that your own current or new selection will become active as soon as you leave the Mouse manager. 2. The Mouse Speed Translation Table Parameters ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ There are three parameters that control the mouse speed/response: The MOUSE DPI parameter, ranging from 0 to 2400 dpi. The MOUSE DYNAMICS parameter, ranging from 0.125 to 4.000. The MOUSE BALLISTIC parameter, ranging from 0.020 to 2.000. Use the DPI parameter to compensate for mouse or tablet resolutions beyond the 500 dpi range. This parameter influences both the dynamics and ballistics value by decreasing the overall mouse speed response. DPI values below 500 dpi have no effect. Using the arrow buttons, you can increase or decrease the parameter in steps of 100 dpi. The DYNAMICS parameter determines the basic mouse response. Setting both the dynamics and ballistic parameter to 1.00 will have the same result as setting the THRESHOLD values (MAIN MENU) to 0. With both parameters set to 1.00 (and the dpi parameter set to less than 500) you will get a linear response curve. This corresponds to an unmodified mouse speed translation. The mouse reacts on screen exactly in the same way as you move it. Increasing the DYNAMIC parameter beyond 1.00 will speed up the mouse. Accordingly, decreasing the value will slow down the mouse. Using the arrow buttons, you can increase or decrease the parameter value in steps of 0.125 . Through the use of the BALLISTIC parameter you can define whether your mouse should respond faster to slow movements and adequately to faster moves or for more precise control, make slow and normal mouse movements slower while speeding up fast movements. The effect of this parameter is best experienced through a small number of test runs. Watch the mouse speed curve to estimate the resulting effect. Using the arrow buttons, you can increase or decrease the parameter in steps of 0.020 . 3. The Mouse Format Selector ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The current release features three different operating modes: MS-Mouse mode, PC-Mouse mode and Summagraphics MM graphics tablets mode. To change the operating mode, click on the FORMAT box. A pop-up menu will appear displaying the available mouse format emulations. Simply click on one of the highlighted modes. Note: Your selection will not become active immediately. To change to the new mode, go back to the MAIN MENU and exit the Mouse Manager. 4. The Mouse Function Features ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Below the Mouse FORMAT selector, you will find three icons labelled: Mouse Button SWAP, Configure Graphics TABLET and Configure VIRTUAL Resolution Modes. Click on the SWAP icon to exchange the mouse button functions. In SUMMA MM mode the cursor keys 1 & 2 emulate the left & right mouse buttons respectively. Button 3 can be used instead of pressing the 'left' & 'right' button simultaneously. SWAP reverses the function assignments. When using a Summagraphics stylus, the tip switch emulates the 'left' mouse button and the barrel switch emulates the 'right' mouse button. SWAP reverses the function assignments. SWAP function disabled: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mouse Format | Button 1 | Button 2 | Button 3 --------------------------|-------------|----------------|-------------------- MS-Mouse | LEFT | RIGHT | (not available) | | | PC-Mouse | LEFT | (see VIRTUAL) | RIGHT ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SWAP function enabled: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mouse Format | Button 1 | Button 2 | Button 3 --------------------------|-------------|----------------|-------------------- MS-Mouse | RIGHT | LEFT | (not available) | | | PC-Mouse | RIGHT | (see VIRTUAL) | LEFT ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SWAP function disabled: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mouse Format | Button 1 | Button 2 | Button 3 | Button 4 --------------------------|----------|----------|----------|------------------ SUMMA MM cursor | LEFT | RIGHT |LEFT+RIGHT| (see VIRTUAL) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SWAP function enabled: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mouse Format | Button 1 | Button 2 | Button 3 | Button 4 --------------------------|----------|----------|----------|------------------ SUMMA MM cursor | RIGHT | LEFT |LEFT+RIGHT| (see VIRTUAL) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SWAP function disabled: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mouse Format | Tip Switch | Barrel Switch | --------------------------|------------|---------------|---------------------- SUMMA MM stylus | LEFT | RIGHT | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SWAP function enabled: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mouse Format | Tip Switch | Barrel Switch | --------------------------|------------|---------------|---------------------- SUMMA MM stylus | RIGHT | LEFT | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This demo release does not support the TABLET and VIRTUAL sub menus. 5.
