The wheel 

When in jog mode the wheel drives the Vortex-dV clockwise or anticlockwise, matching 

the  direction  the  wheel  is  turned.  This  method  offers  more  variable  control  when 
compared to the two fixed-speed jog control buttons (circled in red below). 

 

The scroll wheel can also be used as a speed controller. The jog buttons move the spindle 
at  the  set  speeds  (configured  in  the  ‘Jog  Settings’  menu  picture  below).  Rotating  the 

wheel clockwise while holding a jog button increases the speed and rotating the wheel 

anticlockwise while holding a jog button decreases the speed 

Vortex

-dV

 test stands also feature a precision jog mode, rotating the scroll wheel while 

holding the central scroll wheel button moves the test stand at its minimum speed; this 

is useful when fitting specimens into grips for example. 

Navigational Control 

The scroll wheel can also be used to navigate the menus. When in a selection menu, the 
scroll  wheel  cycles  through  the  selections  and  their  values.  This  is  an  alternate 

navigational option to using the up and down arrow buttons.  

 

 

 

 

The button 

The central button is used to confirm a menu selection. It is equivalent to the tick button. 

It can also be used to activate fine jog control, by rotating the scroll wheel while holding 

the central scroll wheel button moves the test stand at its minimum speed.
