You can record data from a SpaceBall as a device or as a manipulator. The way each method records data is outlined in the following topic.
When using the SpaceBall as a device, the data is only recorded in the following connectors.
| Connector | Function |
|---|---|
| ButtonX (Bool) | The state of the button (0 is Up, 1 is Down). |
| Device Rotation Offset (Vector) | The rotation offset given by the SpaceBall. |
| Device Translation Offset (Vector) | The rotation offset given by the SpaceBall. |
| Device Total Lcl Rotation (Vector) | The total rotation computed with all the rotation offsets since the last reset. |
| Device Total Lcl Translation (Vector) | The total translation computed with all the translation offsets since the last reset. |
When using the SpaceBall as a manipulator, the data is also recorded in the following connectors.
| Connector | Function |
|---|---|
| Manipulator Camera Rotation (Vector) | Rotation vector applied to the manipulated camera. |
| Manipulator Camera Translation (Vector) | Translation vector applied to the manipulated camera. |
| Manipulator Camera Lcl Rotation (Vector) | Local rotation vector applied to the manipulated camera. |
| Manipulator Camera Lcl Translation (Vector) | Local translation vector applied to the manipulated camera. |
| Manipulator Camera Roll (Number) | Roll value applied to the manipulated camera. |
| Manipulator Interest Translation (Vector) | Translation vector applied to the interest of the manipulated camera. |
| Manipulator Interest Lcl Translation (Vector) | Local translation vector applied to the interest of the manipulated camera. |
| Manipulator Model Rotation (Vector) | Rotation vector applied to the manipulated model. |
| Manipulator Model Translation (Vector) | Translation vector applied to the manipulated model. |
| Manipulator Model Lcl Rotation (Vector) | Local rotation vector applied to the manipulated model. |
| Manipulator Model Lcl Translation (Vector) | Local translation vector applied to the manipulated model. |
