Note:
A force input requires 1 analog input if a load cell is used, and 2 analog inputs for
differential force on a hydraulic cylinder. In the differential case, it is still considered one
input, since it is only one quantity.
2. Two-Input Control Axis
A control axis that controls two quantities, such as position and pressure, is called a two-
input control axis. Notice that the secondary inputs must always be analog inputs.

A force input requires 1 analog input if a load cell is used, and 2 analog inputs for
differential force on a hydraulic cylinder. In the differential case, it is still considered one
input since it is only one quantity, although it requires two physical analog inputs.

3.3.4.1. Axis Type: Rotary and Linear
This topic describes rotary and linear axes. All axes are by default linear. To define an axis as
rotary, use the Linear/Rotary axis parameter.
