3.6 Mouse control
Computers may conveniently be selected using a three button mouse. In order to
switch to the next computer simply hold down the central mouse button (the wheel
mouse button on an IntelliMouse) and click on the left hand mouse button to select
the next computer or the right hand mouse button to select the previous computer. If
the LINDY CPU Switch Multiscreen has been set to scan active ports then the next
or previous active channel will be selected. If it has been set to scan all ports then
the next or previous numerical channel in sequence will be selected (see section 4.5
for more details). Mouse switching may be enabled or disabled by setting options
during configuration (see section 4.3). When mouse switching is disabled the third
button or wheel button state is ‘passed through’ the LINDY CPU Switch Multiscreen
and seen by the application software.
