p Scale factor for Open Loop joystick control
(Optional)
A CNC system can be operated in either Closed Loop or Open Loop
joystick control mode. This can cause a system to move with different
velocities when a user switches from one mode to the other. To make
the velocity comparable, a user can apply a scaling factor to the
joystick parameters when in open loop control mode. The Scale factor
ranges from 0.01 to 1.00. This is a unit-less value. The default value is
0.5.
Verify the system is set to Open Loop joystick control mode:
