The JMIN[axis] command can be used to define the minimum analog input value for the specified axis. This parameter has units of millivolts (mV) and a range of 0 to 3300. This value will define the analog input value in which the maximum joystick speed occurs in the negative direction. This command is only available in ASCII mode.


Applies to: CMD-4CR, CMD-4EX-SA, PMX-4EX-SA, PMX-4ET-SA, PMX-2ED-SA, PMX-2EX-SA


ASCII                        JMIN

Syntax:                        

Read:

JMIN[axis]                

Where:        [axis] is set to X or Y


Write:

JMIN[axis]=[volt]                 

Where:        [axis] is set to X or Y

[volt]   specifies the minimum voltage to the analog terminal in mV. Range from 0 – 3300

Reply: 

Command is accepted and executed

Read:         

Returns the current set minimum voltage in mV


Write:           

OK


Command cannot be processed

       An error message is returned. See Error Codes

Example: 

Read:        

JMINX                * Returns the value of the minimum voltage on the X-axis analog terminal.


Write:        

JMINY=5         * Sets the minimum voltage value to 5 mV for the Y-axis analog terminal.


Notes:

  • The ASCII command JTOL[axis] can be used to define the zero-tolerance (or dead) zone around the MID value. No movement will occur while the analog input value is within the zero-tolerance zone. This parameter has units of millivolts (mV) and a range of 0 to 3300. The zero-tolerance parameter will be on the positive and negative side of the MID point to define to the zero-tolerance zone. See the figure below for details.

  • Example: The zero-tolerance zone at JMAX = 3,250 mV, JMIN = 10 mV, JTOL = 50 mV will be 

  • 1580 mV ~ 1680 mV since ((3,250 – 10) ÷ 2) +10 = 1,630 mV
  • 1,630 mV ±50 mV
