Electroluminescent LCD Touch Panels
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 you start, 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 panels.

Enter 1, 2, 3, or 4 in the keypad. The programming software uses device codes

Press ENTER to save the level device number, close the keypad, and return to the Button
Properties page.
4.
Press NUM to open a keypad and set the level number assigned to the device.

except
joysticks, where the range
is 1 – 7.
6.
Press ENTER to save, close the keypad, and return to the Button Properties page.
Joysticks actually use two level numbers. The first is for the X-axis and the second is
for the Y-axis. You only need to specify the first level.
