Joystick control utilizes the analog inputs for the X and Y axis, and when connected allows control of each axis via a joystick.  The Joystick control screen allows configuration of the joystick set up for both X and Y axes.

Displayed information and Settings for Joystick operation:

Enable – enable/disable for each axis (JENA)

Max Speed – setting for maximum speed allowable under joystick control (JSPD)

Max Delta – setting for the differential speed changes using the joystick (JDEL)

Max Voltage – setting for maximum analog voltage used by the joystick (JMAX)

Min Voltage – setting for minimum analog voltage used by the joystick (JMIN)

Idle Tolerance – dead band control – sets the mid voltage point and a +/- tolerance resulting in no response (JTOL)

-Side Outer Limit – Sets the negative side maximum limit value to stop immediately (JLIM 1, 5)

-Side Inner Limit – Sets the negative side limit value to decelerate and stop (JLIM 2, 6)

+Side Outer Limit – Sets the positive side maximum limit value to stop immediately (JLIM 4, 8)

+Side Inner Limit – Sets the positive side m limit value to decelerate and stop (JLIM 3, 7)


NOTE:

If the smallest input voltage value of the analog input terminal is set as the Max Voltage (JMAX), and the largest input voltage value is set as the Min Voltage (JMIN), the movement direction is reversed.

Setting the voltage for the Idle Tolerance (JTOL) too small may result in axis movement as soon as the joystick function is enabled.  Consider the tolerance value to be large enough to avoid unexpected movement on enabling the joystick.
