1 JOYSTICK
The Syclone is equipped with a four position
J
OY
STICK on the instrument handle; referred to
in this manual as the JOYSTICK and this is the
ONLY control on the instrument. The great
advantage of this single button control is that
besides being very easy to use it also permits
full operation EVEN WHEN WEARING
GLOVES – a definite advantage in many
applications where protective clothing is
required.
Various Joystick actions are permitted
depending on the application:
CLICK UP/DOWN - a SHORT (up to 0.5 sec)
push (CLICK) of the JOYSTICK UP (away from the user) or DOWN (towards the
user) is used to scroll through the system menus.
ENTER - holding the JOYSTICK DOWN (toward the ON position on the joystick label) for
about ONE SECOND (in the manual referred to as ENTER) is used to activate the
selection highlighted on the display.
CLICK LEFT/RIGHT – SHORT (up to 0.5 sec) click used in some menus to change
parameters.
