3.3.1
Using the 4-Directional Push Encoder
The 4-Directional Push Encoder (referred to as the Encoder) combines the functionalities of a
conventional joystick, of a button, and of a continuous encoder. These aspects make it into a
multi-functional control element that can be used for navigation, for adjusting values of param-
eters, and for controlling instruments. Hence, it can be moved to the four directions: up, down,
left, and right, as well as being pushed and rotated.
