This chapter explains how to:
• Use the CommandPost controller hardware.
• Create new keysets and change the functions
assigned to existing ones.

BASIC CONTROLLER OPERATION

When you first start your computer with the controller
attached after installation, CommandPost asks you to
carry out a calibration. Follow the on-screen instruc-
tions. This process coordinates the joystick to your
computer’s on-screen pointer as well as the T-Bar.
Tip
If the pointer “crawls” across the screen, it normally
means the controller is not correctly calibrated. This is
usually the result of plugging in a different Command-
Post device than was originally calibrated. See “Recali-
brating the Joystick” beginning on page 36 for further
instructions.
Once your computer starts and the controller has gone
through the calibration exercise, it is ready to use.
Once set, it is not necessary to carry out a calibration
again unless the controller is switched.
