Controls

When clicked, this button reveals a menu of options concerned with keyboard, video and mouse operation.

Single Mouse Mode

This mode is for fast network connections where the cursor response is sufficient to provide instant visual feedback on the remote screen. When enabled, the cursor is ‘captured’ within the viewer window until you use the ‘escape’ hot keys.

To escape from single mouse mode, press F8 and then P. Alternatively, enable and use the mouse button escape sequences - see Advanced unit configuration for details.

The single mouse mode does not require calibration.

Resync Mouse

This option has the same effect as the button on the menu bar and resynchronises the local and remote mouse pointers.

Refresh Screen

This option refreshes the whole screen image to remove any artifacts from moved screen items. This is useful when using very low refresh rates on slow speed communication links.
