Using the Joystick

The joystick is used to move the stage.

To enable the joystick in Neurolucida, use either Joy Free or Joy Track. When in Joy Free or Joy Track mode, tracing functions are disabled. To return to tracing, disable the joystick.

• Joy Free: Use to move the stage to a new section on a slide, to focus without changing the Z position of a tracing, to align new sections with previous tracings.
• Joy Track: Use to maintain the alignment between tracing and traced tissue when you move the stage with the joystick. Neurolucida tracks stage movement in (X, Y, Z) to maintain alignment (i.e., Neurolucida maintains the registration).

 

Right-click to switch between Joy Free and Joy Track, or to disable the joystick.
