all operations.
Control Mappings
Slew rate is controlled by the X and A buttons on the right side of the gamepad.
The X button increases the slew rate and the A button decreases the slew
rate. The right joystick on the gamepad controls the slew direction for the
telescope. The directions of this joystick map onto the up/down/left/right buttons on
the computerized hand control.
Use the JoyStick Mode option on the System Tray to select the mode.
Navigating Menus
Several gamepad controls are used to assist with navigating through the
computerized hand control menus. When joystick support is enabled, a line of text
will appear near the bottom of the computerized hand control image that displays
the function of the Start button. An example of this text is shown below:
The Y button is used to change this selection between Menu Options (default):
Planet List, Object List, and Take a Tour. When the B button is pressed, the menu
displayed at the bottom is entered.
NOTE: If speech is enabled, then this menu selection is also spoken every time it
is changed.
The Z/C buttons are used to scroll through items in the current menu. These
buttons are the same as the 6/9 keys on the keypad.
Enter, Undo, Align and Info keys are mapped onto the trigger buttons of the
gamepad. The R1 trigger is Enter, R2 trigger is Undo, L1 trigger is Align and L2
trigger is Info.
Tour Selection
The Start button on the gamepad acts as a shift key to allow the other buttons to
be used in different ways. Start+Y and Start+B are used to cycle through the
available custom tours.
If speech is enabled when changing the tour selection via the gamepad, the name
of the newly selected tour will be spoken. When the active tour is changed, the
menu selection is automatically set to the Take a Tour option. This is done so that
the B button takes you to the tour menu after you changing the tour.
