JoystickAxesSelect Parameter

Default Value: 0

Minimum Value: 0

Maximum Value: None

Units: None

Type: int

IMPORTANT: The joystick buttons are edge sensitive. The digital input state will transition on the rising edge of the signal.

The JoystickAxesSelect and JoystickSpeedSelect parameters specify which digital inputs are connected to the joystick buttons. Joystick Button A, Joystick Button B, and Joystick Button C are considered pressed as defined by the digital input states of the JoystickAxesSelect and JoystickSpeedSelect parameters as shown in the table that follows.

Table: Inputs and Button Settings

Parameter	Digital Input State	Button Activated (Pressed)
JoystickAxesSelect JoystickSpeedSelect	ON OFF	Joystick Button A is considered pressed when the digital inputs change to this state.
JoystickAxesSelect JoystickSpeedSelect	OFF ON	Joystick Button B is considered pressed when the digital inputs change to this state.
JoystickAxesSelect JoystickSpeedSelect	ON ON	Joystick Button C is considered pressed when the digital inputs change to this state.

Setting	Description
Input Type	This setting specifies the input type that is used. Select an input type based on your system configuration. Disabled is the default. No input type is selected (no digital input is assigned). Drive Digital: The button is connected to an input on a drive. Virtual Binary: This is a general purpose register. To set this register from a program, use the VirtualBinaryInputSet() function. If you are using an Ethernet I/O module connected to the PC for this input, then you must select this option and write this value in a task program.
Axis Index	This setting specifies which axis is used for input. The default axis is 0 (typically Axis X). This setting does not apply if you select Virtual Binary as the Input Type.
Input Number	This setting specifies which input is used. The input number is zero-based. The default value is input zero.
