On the left side of the menu, you have the SHX scenes which can be selected.
If any change is made to the server, by pressing ‘Update’, the content in your desktop application will also change.
The ‘Settings’ option defines, in addition to the application settings, the settings for forced reloading of the content (even if there is no change in the server), as well as the configuration of the server’s IP to which you want to connect, the type of access with which you want to manage the application and the information about the application.
If no access type is selected, the default access type (mouse or touch) will be used. There are three types of access: scanning, dwell click and voice control. Voice control can be combined with the two previous ones.
Scanning:
Scanning is possible via:
- an access device such as an adapted joystick
- a keyboard
- an adapter connected to the server
- the SHX device’s scanning input, including a wireless option
Not compatible with the dwell click access method.
In case of keypad scanning, the key that will have the function of a switch must be defined.
In the same window, select the device and choose the amount of time in seconds, for which you want to hover over a cell, as well as the color of the cell background.
To start scanning, click on the selected device after closing the ‘Settings’ menu.
To select a cell, press the switch when the cell is highlighted. The scanning mode will stop on the third round or when a cell has been selected. Press the switch again to restart scanning.
Dwell click:
Not compatible with scanning. Operates by mouse or by pressing, in case of a touch screen. The ‘Rest’ option will display a rest cell in the side menu, intended for access via eye gaze.
This cell cancels dwell clicking until we reselect this option.
The waiting time and the color of the counter can be changed in the settings.
Voice control:
Remember to have given access to the microphone in the desktop application (see Before Downloading).
Voice control works with the voice commands defined on the server. If it matches the commands defined for a scene, the corresponding scene will be loaded and the corresponding action will be executed.
Eye Gaze:
This is similar to other access methods and is compatible with the SHX Server 1.6 or higher.
- Set-up the eye tracker as a mouse.
- Select Dwell Click in ‘Settings — Access’.
- Set your preferences
– Select accordingly the ‘Rest’ option
– Select the dwelling time in seconds
– Select the background color for the dwell click option
