HEIDENHAIN ND 1300 CNC Setup - Manual (Page 16)

Joystick setup and calibration
The Joystick screen contains fields calibrating and con-
figuring joystick motion.
Enabling joystick motion
Check an axis Enable box
to enable joystick motion,
or clear the box to disable joystick
motion on that axis.
Teaching the Joystick range of motion
The system must measure the joystick range of motion before the
joystick can be used. Touch the Teach button to start the calibration
procedure, and then follow the instructions displayed on the screen.
Joystick positions will be indicated by Max(v), Center(v), Min(v) and
Current(v) voltage values.
Deadband
A deadband area of joystick inactivity is specified around the zero position of each axis to eliminate errone-
ous axis motion due to joystick vibration or noise. The default values are expressed as percentages of total
motion and will satisfy the requirements of most environments, however
these values can be increased or decreased by selecting the deadband field
and entering the desired value.
Reversed axis direction
The direction of motion controlled by the joystick on an axis can be reversed
to accommodate different joystick and system hardware by checking the Re-
versed axis box.
