{!DOMAIN MOUSE OPTION!}
.block Description
The MOUSE is an optional pointing or cursor positioning device available on
all DOMAIN Computational Nodes including the DN300, DN460 and DN660. 
The DOMAIN MOUSE is a hand held cursor positioning device which features three
user definable buttons and which can be operated on any flat surface.
The DOMAIN MOUSE may be used as a highly efficient 
pointing device for selecting user defined pop-up menus and
is also capable of providing high accuracy X/Y coordinate positioning -
especially useful in CAD/CAE applications. The DOMAIN MOUSE comes fully integrated
into the Apollo Interactive Display Manager Software so that the user may immediately
experience a productivity gain. In addition the three user definable
function buttons ensure flexibility in tailoring the DOMAIN MOUSE to a personalized
user/application environment. When combined with other Apollo Workstation
features such as distributed processing across a high speed local area network,
integrated high resolution bit-mapped graphics, and the multiple process/display
window approach, the DOMAIN MOUSE extends Apollo's philosophy of offering 
'state-of-the-art' productivity tools to the technical professional community.

.block Hardware/Software Interface
The DOMAIN MOUSE plugs directly into the Apollo keyboard and therefore does not require
a dedicated RS-232 port. The DOMAIN MOUSE can be used on any flat surface, eliminating 
the need for special pads or large work areas. The DOMAIN MOUSE is a relative
device which is fully integrated into the Apollo Interactive Display Manager
and which is software compatible with other Apollo supported pointing devices,
the TOUCHPAD and Data Tablet. Similiar to the TOUCHPAD, the DOMAIN MOUSE 
allows the user to adjust cursor tracking sensitivity to what is most appropriate
for a particular application or for personal preference. This sensitivity control is
available to users through standard Apollo Display Manager Commands.
The DOMAIN MOUSE buttons are treated as three additional keyboard function
keys. Each of these three buttons produces both an up and down transition output.
The user may therefore specify six individual functions or may combine a down/up
transition to perform more complex operations. Finally, the tracking mechanism
is a large spring loaded ball bearing which assures consistent tracking across
a wide range of surfaces. The ball bearing can be easily removed for periodic
cleaning that eliminates any problems associated with dust and spills.
