Tracker 2000 and Pathfinder

 

So you want to use Madentec's Tracker 2000 with the Pathfinder? Well, it CAN be done! Here are the instructions. You should also have your Tracker 200 manual with you.

 

Position the Tracker 2000 Tracker unit on the Pathfinder. The round ball at the front of Tracker 2000 contains a sensor. This sensor must be positioned so that it points toward the user.

1. Plug the large connector directly into the back of the Tracker 2000 unit.

2. Plug the PS/2-to-serial-mouse-adapter-cable (yellow band) into one of the small round connectors of the PS/2 mouse cable (orange band)

3. Plug the 9-pin serial connector into the Multi port (picture of joystick) on the top of the Pathfinder.

4. Plug the AC power adapter into the back of the Tracker 2000 unit. Plug the other end into a working wall socket or power bar.

 

Turn on Headpointing in the Selection Technique Menu:

1. Select the Status key twice (left of the display)

2. Choose Selection Technique Menu (Select Tech)

3. Choose Selection Technique option #1 until it says Headpointing.

4. Select OK to exit the menu

Place the reflective dot on your forehead, the bridge of your glasses or any other moveable location on your body.

  • If you see a green light, Tracker 2000 has detected the dot and is in the best position.

  • If you see a red light, you need to center yourself or position yourself closer to the Tracker.

See your Pathfinder Operator's Manual for adjusting the speed of the mouse, acceptance time, color, etc.
