Autocue Serial Multibutton Controller

The Serial Multibutton Controller has one 9-way D connector which is plugged in to a serial port
on your computer.

Configure a Serial Multi-button Controller

Select your controller from the list and click Setup.

On the Settings tab, you can set stop zones and button actions according to your scrolling
requirements. It is also possible to change the speed at which the text moves using the Rates
tab.

If your computer has one serial port, the serial port menu shows as COM1 only.

To change to a different serial port from the one selected, unplug the scroll control from the
serial port and plug it into another one. (This may require you to restart your computer.)

End Stop Mode

The knurled wheel of the controller can be rotated through approximately 270 degrees of
movement. One end of this travel is referred to as the End Stop and has a scroll rate of zero
applied to it. As the wheel is turned, the speed steadily increases to a maximum speed at the
opposite end of the movement of the wheel.
