Analog or R/C Specific Settings
The screen shown in Figure 78 slightly changes in function of whether or not the Analog
Input mode is selected.
If the Analog Input mode is selected on the main screen, then this page is used to set the
Analog Deadband value. In the R/C mode, this page is used to view and change parame-
ters used in the R/C mode of operation. None of these parameters has any effect when
running the controller in RS232 mode.
If the controller is configured in RS232 mode, some of these menus will turn gray but will
remain active.
1- Deadband
This slider will let you set the amount of joystick motion off its center position before the
motors start moving. The slider will work identically in the R/C or analog mode, however,
the % value will be different. See “Joystick Deadband Programming” on page 88 and
“Analog Deadband Adjustment” on page 97.
2- Joystick Timing
These fields are enabled only if the R/C mode is selected. These number areas will let you
read and modify the R/C pulse timing information used by the controller. New values can
be entered manually to create different capture characteristics. They are also useful for
viewing the stored values after an automatic joystick calibration sequence. See “Joystick
Calibration” on page 90 and “Data Logging in R/C Mode” on page 91.
