Gets/sets the joystick dead zone tolerance [value] in mV for [axis].


The dead zone is the voltage range where the joystick operation is stopped. The range is determined by adding or subtracting JTOL from the midpoint (Mid) of the joystick voltage range.

Syntax                

       

Read

JTOL[axis]                

[axis] is set to X or Y


Write

JTOL[axis]=[value]                 

[axis] is set to X or Y

[value]   specifies the invalid voltage range above and below midpoint in mV

Example 

Read        

JTOLX                * Returns the set dead zone voltage tolerance for X axis


Write        

JTOLY=50         * Sets the dead zone tolerance to 50 mV for the Y axis.


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