a Forward/Reverse command is entered, then drive will commence in the
newly selected direction.
If the User Switch is not released and is held for time period set by the
programmable parameter, Switch Medium, then this is interpreted as a
conventional User Switch operation, i.e. the User Menu will be entered or the
other wheelchair functions would be sequenced. There will be no direction
toggle in this instance.
As with the other two methods, if the User Switch is operated for a period greater
than the time set by the programmable parameter, Switch Long, then the
Omni will go to sleep.
5.4 Seating Control
Standard control of seating movement is via the Forward/Reverse command,
and Left and Right commands will select a different seat axis for movement.
The direction of movement is selected in the same way as that for changing
drive direction.
As is often required in head array situations, it is possible to re-program the
Omni to control the seating movement in alternative ways. Refer to sections
Actuator Selection and Actuator Axes in the Programming chapter.
5.5 Associated Programming
There are several standard R-net programming features that may be useful
when using this SID type. These include joystick throw, joystick orientation and
joystick deadband. Refer to the user guide for the programming method you
are using for further details of the available adjustments.
For latched operation using this SID type, refer to section Latched Operation.
It is possible to set up the Omni so that the functions can be navigated audibly.
This can be useful if the user cannot easily always see the Omni’s screen. Refer
to section Using the Omni by Sound in the Advanced Section of this manual.
