Ergodex dx1 Guia Do Utilizador
10
Thank you for purchasing the DX1 Input System from Ergodex. The
DX1 is a powerful tool that lets you build a completely personalized
computer interface. This User Guide describes the features and
operation of your DX1.
Before continuing, we would like to acknowledge upfront that most
people detest reading User Guides. It is usually much more fun to
discover how a new product works by trial and error, after maybe a
brief glance at the Quick Start Guide. However, it is important that
you read and understand fully the Health and Safety Warnings
at the beginning of this User Guide before using the DX1 Input
System.
We have tried to provide a balance between ease of use and
maximum flexibility with the DX1. The intuitive interface and “in
program” recording capability allow you to begin using the DX1 right
away. However, the DX1 also provides many advanced features
that may not be immediately obvious. As you experiment with the
DX1, you may want to read the rest of this User Guide to discover all
the powerful features that are offered.
What is it?
So, what exactly is the DX1 Input System? Well, if you are reading
this guide, you probably have some idea about what it can do.
Essentially, the DX1 is a computer peripheral that allows you to
create your own custom computer interface. DX1 Keys may be
arranged (and rearranged) anywhere on the surface of the DX1 Pad.
You assign these Keys powerful Macro functions to control programs
on your computer. The DX1 is compatible with most programs
including: Games, Graphics Packages, Audio/Video Editing
Software, CAD/Engineering Packages, Word Processors, Web
Browsers, Email Programs, and Office Applications. Essentially,
your DX1 Pad can be used with any program that uses a regular
keyboard for input.
You can arrange the DX1 Keys to suit your particular preferences or
work style. You no longer have to tolerate awkward layouts or
complex key combinations to control your programs. You might
arrange the DX1 Keys to fit the geometry of your particular hand.
