the settings in the profile. You can do this by clicking the Load button and selecting
the profile from the dialogue box.
Note: It is also possible to use a profile created for an Autocue Serial Multibutton scroll
controller.
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.
