7.1.3 Changing the Joystick TV Angle
In TV mode (chamberscope), the dual joystick and stage may appear to move in opposite direc-
tions. This is because the selected CCD camera is installed at a certain angle relative to the stage.
Thus, the camera shows a side-inverted view. To remedy this, you need to change the joystick TV
angle setting in the software.
Info
If you are working with two CCD cameras: The joystick TV angle can only be set for one CCD
camera. When selecting the other CCD camera, you have to change the setting.
