Creating a Bargraph and Joystick
Bargraphs are level monitors and adjustable level controls. These levels can be configured to
monitor and adjust audio outputs and lighting levels.
Joysticks are vertical and horizontal direction controllers you can use for camera for pan and tilt
control. Before starting, make sure to connect the touch panel to your Controller; otherwise, the
joystick will not work properly.

Level buttons set the device and number codes for the touch panel.

Joysticks use two level numbers. The first is for the X-axis and the second for the Y-
