facilities as the trackerball and three pushbuttons on
the Nucleus Displays. In addition, the Ergopod is equipped
with a plus (+) and minus (-) range button, a Clutter button
and a screen select button (located on the underside of the
main pushbutton area above the trackerball).
26 The ERGOPOD can be used ‘Stand-alone’ or in Dual
configuration with two Ergopods configured as Master
and Slave with shared displays.
