&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;The miniSim is a PC-based research driving simulator that provides a realistic automotive driving&lt;br /&gt;
environment. The system consists of a single PC for simplicity and reliability, three front channel&lt;br /&gt;
displays, an instrument panel display, USB steering wheel and pedals, 2.1 audio system, a tactile&lt;br /&gt;
transducer, and a display for the operator/instructor.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Place the steering wheel and pedals ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Minisim_install_figure3a.jpg|thumb|100px|A mounted Logitech G27 wheel]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Minisim_install_figure3c.jpg|thumb|frame|100px]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Unpack the steering wheel and pedals. Plug in the power supply, pedal, and shifter cables to the&lt;br /&gt;
underside of the ECCI or G27 wheel per the manufacturer’s instructions, Figure 3. Fasten the wheel and&lt;br /&gt;
shifter to the desktop following the manufacturer’s instructions, and place the pedals on the floor under&lt;br /&gt;
the table, Figure 4.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Place the instrument panel display ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
CAUTION! Please read the warnings and handling instructions for the LCD displays located in the&lt;br /&gt;
appendix.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Instrument Panel LCD attaches to an aluminum bracket that holds the display at a 45 degree angle,&lt;br /&gt;
Figure 5. Mount the display to the bracket using the supplied thumb screws, being sure the display is&lt;br /&gt;
upside down, Figure 6. Connect the power and VGA/DVI cable to the display. Place the display on the&lt;br /&gt;
table directly behind the steering wheel, Figure 7.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the case of the 3-channel setup with 20” LCDs, attach the LCD to the instrument panel bracket using&lt;br /&gt;
the 4 thumbscrews. If these are lost, you may replace them with metric screws, 4mm thread and 16mm&lt;br /&gt;
long (M4x16).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Place the front-channel displays ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
CAUTION! Please read the manufacturer’s manuals for the LCD displays located in the appendix.&lt;br /&gt;
Locate the three front channel displays on the tabletop behind the instrument panel as shown. Connect&lt;br /&gt;
the video (DVI) and power cables to each monitor. The center display should be centered directly&lt;br /&gt;
behind the instrument panel display, Figure 8.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Place the audio system ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Unpack the audio system (Logitech Z-2300). Place the subwoofer under the table, and place the two&lt;br /&gt;
satellite speakers to the left and right of the instrument panel display, Figure 8. Observe the left and&lt;br /&gt;
right labels.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Connect the satellite speakers to the appropriate jacks on the rear of the subwoofer. Connect the&lt;br /&gt;
subwoofer volume control to the subwoofer, Figure 9.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Place the tactile transducer ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If your simulator has a tactile transducer, first mount it under the desk under or near the steering wheel&lt;br /&gt;
with self-drilling screws, Figure 10.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The tactile transducer requires a small audio amplifier (Pyle ProPCA3 shown). Connect one speaker&lt;br /&gt;
output (Left is shown) to the terminals on the tactile transducer. Polarity (+/-) is not important. Note&lt;br /&gt;
that we are only using the left channel of the amplifier. Use the RCA to 1/8” headphone ‘Y’ cable to&lt;br /&gt;
connect the audio amplifier to the PC. Connect the White RCA to the Left input jack on the amplifier and&lt;br /&gt;
plug the 1/8” headphone plug into the Orange audio output on the PC. Not all Y cables are alike, so use&lt;br /&gt;
the Realtek Audio Manager test tones to check that the subwoofer (not the center) is being used.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Place the Audio System ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Unpack the audio system (Logitech Z-2300). Place the subwoofer under the table, and place the two&lt;br /&gt;
satellite speakers to the left and right of the instrument panel display, Figure 8. Observe the left and&lt;br /&gt;
right labels.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Connect the satellite speakers to the appropriate jacks on the rear of the subwoofer. Connect the&lt;br /&gt;
subwoofer volume control to the subwoofer, Figure 9.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Place the Tactile Transducer ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If your simulator has a tactile transducer, first mount it under the desk under or near the steering wheel&lt;br /&gt;
with self-drilling screws, Figure 10.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The tactile transducer requires a small audio amplifier (Pyle ProPCA3 shown). Connect one speaker&lt;br /&gt;
output (Left is shown) to the terminals on the tactile transducer. Polarity (+/-) is not important. Note&lt;br /&gt;
that we are only using the left channel of the amplifier. Use the RCA to 1/8” headphone ‘Y’ cable to&lt;br /&gt;
connect the audio amplifier to the PC. Connect the White RCA to the Left input jack on the amplifier and&lt;br /&gt;
plug the 1/8” headphone plug into the Orange audio output on the PC. Not all Y cables are alike, so use&lt;br /&gt;
the Realtek Audio Manager test tones to check that the subwoofer (not the center) is being used.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;The miniSim is a PC-based research driving simulator that provides a realistic automotive driving&lt;br /&gt;
environment. The system consists of a single PC for simplicity and reliability, three front channel&lt;br /&gt;
displays, an instrument panel display, USB steering wheel and pedals, 2.1 audio system, a tactile&lt;br /&gt;
transducer, and a display for the operator/instructor.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Place the Steering Wheel and Pedals ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Unpack the steering wheel and pedals. Plug in the power supply, pedal, and shifter cables to the&lt;br /&gt;
underside of the ECCI or G27 wheel per the manufacturer’s instructions, Figure 3. Fasten the wheel and&lt;br /&gt;
shifter to the desktop following the manufacturer’s instructions, and place the pedals on the floor under&lt;br /&gt;
the table, Figure 4.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Minisim_install_figure3c.jpg|thumb|200px]]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Place the Instrument Panel Display ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
CAUTION! Please read the warnings and handling instructions for the LCD displays located in the&lt;br /&gt;
appendix.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Instrument Panel LCD attaches to an aluminum bracket that holds the display at a 45 degree angle,&lt;br /&gt;
Figure 5. Mount the display to the bracket using the supplied thumb screws, being sure the display is&lt;br /&gt;
upside down, Figure 6. Connect the power and VGA/DVI cable to the display. Place the display on the&lt;br /&gt;
table directly behind the steering wheel, Figure 7.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the case of the 3-channel setup with 20” LCDs, attach the LCD to the instrument panel bracket using&lt;br /&gt;
the 4 thumbscrews. If these are lost, you may replace them with metric screws, 4mm thread and 16mm&lt;br /&gt;
long (M4x16).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Place the Front-Channel Displays ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
CAUTION! Please read the manufacturer’s manuals for the LCD displays located in the appendix.&lt;br /&gt;
Locate the three front channel displays on the tabletop behind the instrument panel as shown. Connect&lt;br /&gt;
the video (DVI) and power cables to each monitor. The center display should be centered directly&lt;br /&gt;
behind the instrument panel display, Figure 8.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Place the Audio System ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Unpack the audio system (Logitech Z-2300). Place the subwoofer under the table, and place the two&lt;br /&gt;
satellite speakers to the left and right of the instrument panel display, Figure 8. Observe the left and&lt;br /&gt;
right labels.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Connect the satellite speakers to the appropriate jacks on the rear of the subwoofer. Connect the&lt;br /&gt;
subwoofer volume control to the subwoofer, Figure 9.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Place the Tactile Transducer ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If your simulator has a tactile transducer, first mount it under the desk under or near the steering wheel&lt;br /&gt;
with self-drilling screws, Figure 10.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The tactile transducer requires a small audio amplifier (Pyle ProPCA3 shown). Connect one speaker&lt;br /&gt;
output (Left is shown) to the terminals on the tactile transducer. Polarity (+/-) is not important. Note&lt;br /&gt;
that we are only using the left channel of the amplifier. Use the RCA to 1/8” headphone ‘Y’ cable to&lt;br /&gt;
connect the audio amplifier to the PC. Connect the White RCA to the Left input jack on the amplifier and&lt;br /&gt;
plug the 1/8” headphone plug into the Orange audio output on the PC. Not all Y cables are alike, so use&lt;br /&gt;
the Realtek Audio Manager test tones to check that the subwoofer (not the center) is being used.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;br /&gt;
Connect the satellite speakers to the appropriate jacks on the rear of the subwoofer. Connect the&lt;br /&gt;
subwoofer volume control to the subwoofer, Figure 9.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Place the Tactile Transducer ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If your simulator has a tactile transducer, first mount it under the desk under or near the steering wheel&lt;br /&gt;
with self-drilling screws, Figure 10.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The tactile transducer requires a small audio amplifier (Pyle ProPCA3 shown). Connect one speaker&lt;br /&gt;
output (Left is shown) to the terminals on the tactile transducer. Polarity (+/-) is not important. Note&lt;br /&gt;
that we are only using the left channel of the amplifier. Use the RCA to 1/8” headphone ‘Y’ cable to&lt;br /&gt;
connect the audio amplifier to the PC. Connect the White RCA to the Left input jack on the amplifier and&lt;br /&gt;
plug the 1/8” headphone plug into the Orange audio output on the PC. Not all Y cables are alike, so use&lt;br /&gt;
the Realtek Audio Manager test tones to check that the subwoofer (not the center) is being used.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;div&gt;{ {DISPLAYTITLE:Set Up the miniSim} }&lt;br /&gt;
The miniSim is a PC-based research driving simulator that provides a realistic automotive driving&lt;br /&gt;
environment. The system consists of a single PC for simplicity and reliability, three front channel&lt;br /&gt;
displays, an instrument panel display, USB steering wheel and pedals, 2.1 audio system, a tactile&lt;br /&gt;
transducer, and a display for the operator/instructor.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Place the Steering Wheel and Pedals ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Unpack the steering wheel and pedals. Plug in the power supply, pedal, and shifter cables to the&lt;br /&gt;
underside of the ECCI or G27 wheel per the manufacturer’s instructions, Figure 3. Fasten the wheel and&lt;br /&gt;
shifter to the desktop following the manufacturer’s instructions, and place the pedals on the floor under&lt;br /&gt;
the table, Figure 4.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Place the Instrument Panel Display ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
CAUTION! Please read the warnings and handling instructions for the LCD displays located in the&lt;br /&gt;
appendix.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Instrument Panel LCD attaches to an aluminum bracket that holds the display at a 45 degree angle,&lt;br /&gt;
Figure 5. Mount the display to the bracket using the supplied thumb screws, being sure the display is&lt;br /&gt;
upside down, Figure 6. Connect the power and VGA/DVI cable to the display. Place the display on the&lt;br /&gt;
table directly behind the steering wheel, Figure 7.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the case of the 3-channel setup with 20” LCDs, attach the LCD to the instrument panel bracket using&lt;br /&gt;
the 4 thumbscrews. If these are lost, you may replace them with metric screws, 4mm thread and 16mm&lt;br /&gt;
long (M4x16).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Place the Front-Channel Displays ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
CAUTION! Please read the manufacturer’s manuals for the LCD displays located in the appendix.&lt;br /&gt;
Locate the three front channel displays on the tabletop behind the instrument panel as shown. Connect&lt;br /&gt;
the video (DVI) and power cables to each monitor. The center display should be centered directly&lt;br /&gt;
behind the instrument panel display, Figure 8.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Place the Audio System ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Unpack the audio system (Logitech Z-2300). Place the subwoofer under the table, and place the two&lt;br /&gt;
satellite speakers to the left and right of the instrument panel display, Figure 8. Observe the left and&lt;br /&gt;
right labels.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Connect the satellite speakers to the appropriate jacks on the rear of the subwoofer. Connect the&lt;br /&gt;
subwoofer volume control to the subwoofer, Figure 9.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Place the Tactile Transducer ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If your simulator has a tactile transducer, first mount it under the desk under or near the steering wheel&lt;br /&gt;
with self-drilling screws, Figure 10.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The tactile transducer requires a small audio amplifier (Pyle ProPCA3 shown). Connect one speaker&lt;br /&gt;
output (Left is shown) to the terminals on the tactile transducer. Polarity (+/-) is not important. Note&lt;br /&gt;
that we are only using the left channel of the amplifier. Use the RCA to 1/8” headphone ‘Y’ cable to&lt;br /&gt;
connect the audio amplifier to the PC. Connect the White RCA to the Left input jack on the amplifier and&lt;br /&gt;
