If this is the first time plugging in a SpacePoint demonstration module, Windows
automatically will launch the “Found New Hardware” wizard, then indicate it has found
the module and install the device. If the LEDs do not come on or Windows otherwise
does not seem to recognize the device, check the Device Manager, under Universal
Serial Bus Controller – USB Composite Device. The SpacePoint demonstration module
should be identified with “Location 0 (SpacePoint )”, and under the Details tab it should
indicate “VID_20FF&PID_0100”. Alternatively you can check under Game Controllers on
the Control Panel, where it should be recognized as a “7 axis 2 button device”. Here,
under Properties, you should observe changes in the 7 axis states as the device is
moved, although these 7 states are not correlated to their description.
2) Launch the SpacePoint Demo program. Double-click on the “SpacePointDemo.exe”
icon to launch the program. It is important to ensure the Fusion module is fully at rest
for 3 seconds when launching the program, as the gyros initialize during this time. The
“SpacePoint Demo Configuration” window will appear. Set the desired screen
resolution and graphics quality. Note the graphics quality options are established by the
Unity engine and will depend on your computer’s configuration. PNI generally
recommends “Fastest” graphics quality, but the user can experiment with other
settings. If you want the program to run full-screen, deselect the “Windowed” box.
Click the “Play!” button or press the
3) Select the desired program. The SpacePoint Demo Program actually contains four
distinct programs, each demonstrating different SpacePoint benefits. To select a
program using your computer’s mouse, move your computer’s cursor over the program
name and click. Alternatively, you can use the Fusion module to select a program by
moving the Fusion’s bullseye cursor over the desired program name until it illuminates,
then shaking it up-and-down to select.
