in the 'Input Parameters' section. Also see a 3D representation <strong>of</strong> the current position <strong>of</strong> the<br />

manipulator will be drawn.<br />

The first trio <strong>of</strong> track bars represent the position <strong>of</strong> the center <strong>of</strong> the platform in<br />

Cartesian coordinates. The latter trio represents the orientation <strong>of</strong> the platform in yaw, pitch<br />

<strong>and</strong> roll Euler angles.<br />

Euler angles are limited to ±180 degrees <strong>and</strong> the position parameters are limited by<br />

stroke.<br />

A.2.3 Construction Parameters Section<br />

It is possible to change the construction parameters <strong>of</strong> the manipulator <strong>and</strong> directly see<br />

the results. To do this, type the desired values in the corresponding boxes. Inner radius <strong>and</strong><br />

outer radius corresponds to the connection points <strong>of</strong> the branch ends to the fixed <strong>and</strong> mobile<br />

platform. Stroke is the maximum possible displacement <strong>of</strong> the mobile platform in wrt. the<br />

origin.<br />

A.2.4 Comm<strong>and</strong> Line<br />

This is the white text region at the bottom <strong>of</strong> the form. One can keep the track<br />

<strong>of</strong> executed comm<strong>and</strong>s from here.<br />

A.2.5 Graphics Panel<br />

This is the place where the manipulator is seen in motion. The panel is interactive:<br />

• Click, hold & drag mouse to rotate the camera.<br />

• Double click to pause/resume a demonstration.<br />

A.2.6 Main Menu<br />

In the main menu there are three menu items as File, <strong>Analysis</strong> <strong>and</strong> Help<br />

File<br />

• Sample data to memory: Records the input parameters <strong>and</strong> platform position to<br />

memory. This behaves as a checkbox. When clicked once it starts to record, then<br />
