2-26 Setting System Parameters
The following list describes the parameters that you
can use.
■
Ballistic Effect (BHIGH, BLOW, BON, BOFF) — The
ballistic effect gives you speed and precision as you re-
quire them. Moving your mouse quickly lets you sweep
the cursor across your screen quickly. Moving it slowly
lets you zero in on an exact position.
The ballistic effect lets you select a single pixel easily at
any sensitivity level. This feature is ideal for graphics
programs. When you use a paint or draw program, the
ballistic effect slows your mouse cursor when you create
fine details in your drawing and then speeds up when
you need to go between your drawing and the toolbox or
a menu.
Ballistic arguments include the following:
BHIGH — sets the ballistic effect to its highest setting.
BLOW — sets the ballistic effect to its lowest setting.
BON — enables the ballistic effect.
BOFF — disables the ballistic effect.
■
Driver orientation (NORTH, SOUTH, EAST, WEST)
— You can use this parameter to change the direction in
which the screen cursor moves when you move the
mouse. For most situations, keep the default parameter
(NORTH).
With the driver orientation set to the default, NORTH,
the mouse buttons point away from your wrist so that
your fingers rest on top of the buttons. The mouse's
compass direction south points towards your wrist; east
points towards your right; west towards the left. The
screen cursor moves in the same direction that your
mouse moves.
