A dial box is a computer peripheral used in molecular graphics software to adjust the rotation and torsion angles of a molecular model displayed on a computer screen. The most common dial boxes were made for Silicon Graphics (SGI) or Sun Microsystems and sold with their workstations. Standard dial box has 8 dials mounted on a plate. The plate is set upright with the help of a stand and usually located next to the computer screen for convenient access.

The most common dial boxes were made for Silicon Graphics (SGI) or Sun Microsystems and sold with their workstations. Standard dial box has 8 dials mounted on a plate. The plate is set upright with the help of a stand and usually located next to the computer screen for convenient access. The connection to a computer is made via the serial port. Dial boxes are not commonly used in molecular graphics anymore, having been replaced by the standard computer mouse.
