Dial_box

 

dial_box [number]

This command allows one to explicitly define which dialbox is to be mapped to the dials. A search of the data base for .box[number] is made and a mapping made between the logical input device numbers and the 8 dials. For example, if one wishes to control all of the rotations and translations for a moving fragment and have the zoom and slab active on the same box, one may use a box number 5 and have in the data base an entry

.box5 i 8 (3i3)
  9 10 11  4 13 14 15  8

To activate this dialbox, one would issue the command

dial_box 5
