Mimic Handwheels controls
On the Mimic Handwheels, two of the handwheels are typically assigned
to the Pan and Tilt head axes, and the third handwheel is typically
assigned to Roll or Zoom, although you can change the assignments in
Flair if you want.
The meanings of the lights on the Mimic Handwheels controller are as
follows:

POWER - The power is on.

ENABLE - Indicates that this named axis on the head or
camera (for example Pan, Tilt, Roll, Focus, or Zoom) is now
connected to its corresponding control in the controller.
You can control a maximum of four axes using one Mimic
Handwheels, which is connected to the Mimic1 port in RT-14.
The Mimic2 port also allows for four mimic inputs should you
want to connect another set of Mimic Handwheels to mimic
additional four axis on the rig.
Using the control direction switches
The Mimic Handwheels unit has three direction control switches across
the bottom. Which controls are affected depends on how the Root Mimic
Axes are assigned in Flair. They are typically assigned to left wheel, front
wheel and right wheel.
