2.11. Joystick Connector (J11)
The Joystick Interface (J11) is a 15-pin ‘D’ style connector located on the Rear Panel Interface board and is
accessible at the rear of the Npaq chassis. The Joystick Interface uses two analog inputs (analog inputs #2
& #3) and three dedicated inputs (joystick buttons). Joystick operation requires that the two analog inputs be
configured as single-ended analog inputs by inserting JP14 and JP15 on the Rear Panel Interface board.
These jumpers are installed at the factory. The joystick interface is shown in
