2.5.1 Proportional range
In the proportional range, the capillary will move as quickly or slowly as the joystick is
moved. The travel of the capillary is also proportional to the distance that the joystick has
been moved forwards and backwards. The movement of the capillary will stop as soon as
the joystick is no longer moved or when the position is reached at which the joystick was
stopped. There is a noticeable stop on the outer limit of the proportional range. This stop
is in a narrow zone in which moving the joystick sideways does not result in any further
movement of the capillary.
The size of the proportional range depends on the working range selected.
2.5.2 Dynamic range
After the stop, the dynamic range of the joystick begins: when the joystick is moved
against the spring-loaded stop, the capillary starts moving in the direction of the joystick
movement. The movement stops when the joystick is released and it drops back into the
zone due to the spring force of the stop. The speed of the capillary in the dynamic range is
increased dynamically by a stronger pressure against the stop.
The size of the dynamic range is limited by the movement range of the modules (X, Y and
Z).
2.5.3 Direction of movement of the joystick
The joystick can be moved along the horizontal plane. This controls the motors of the
X-module and the Y-module. The joystick can be moved in one axis at a time or in a
combination of axes.
