Devices
If you want to use more than one Phantom haptic device with your computer, you can
create as many as 20 uniquely named Phantom configurations. Each named Phantom
configuration can refer to a particular system configuration that you use frequently. Which
device to use is defined by the software application which uses it.
To create a new Phantom configuration use the Phantom Configuration Utility.
1 From the Start menu, open the Control Panel. Select Phantom Configuration . The
Phantom Configuration window opens.
2 On the hardware tab, click Add .
3 Enter a name to call that device, click OK.
4 From the Phantom model menu, select the correct model .
5 Click OK .
Dual Configurations
The Dual Configuration settings only apply if you want to set up a pair of Phantom
devices to work in tandem with each other. You must have created at least two Phantom
devices as described above before the Dual Configuration tab can be used. Once you have
created at least two devices, go to the Dual Configuration area and select the Phantom
devices you would like to use in a paired configuration. Then, enable the check box to turn
the dual configuration on.
