JoystickMaxFastAcceleration
500
mm/s2
This is the maximum acceleration and deceleration value
used when operating the joystick in fast mode.
JoystickMaxTouchSpeed
30 mm/s This value is the target speed for full joystick deflection in
measure mode (without the joystick fast button operated).
JoystickMaxTouchAcceleration 30
mm/s2
This is the maximum acceleration and deceleration value
used when operating the joystick in measure mode.
StandardBeepTime
0.2 s
This controls the time the MCU buzzer operates for a
probe trigger event, it can be set to zero if the buzzer is
not required.
ZAxisDirection
N/A
The standard configuration is for a clockwise rotation of
the joystick to cause –Z motion. This can be inverted if
required.
InitialMCUOrientation
N/A
This parameter sets the initial orientation of the MCU, the
default setting is that forward movement of the joystick
will cause +Y motion of a YXZ configured machine.
EnableButtonDelay
N/A
This setting enables the use of the “Joystick Enable”
button, the default setting is enabled, if its use is not
enabled then the joystick will always be live when the
machine is in manual mode (Not Recommended)
EnableButtonOperation
N/A
If the use of the “Joystick Enable” button is enabled this
parameter sets the time after the button has been
operated that the joystick is enabled for. The default
setting is 0, i.e. the button has to be depressed to allow
motion.
NumberOfMCUModes
5
This setting controls the number of MCU modes that can
be accessed.
ModesSequence
N/A
These settings control the mode types and the sequence
in which they are displayed.
NullWaitTime
0.05 s
If a limit switch or surface is encountered when under
joystick control the system will switch to automatic mode
for the backoff, the null wait time sets the time the joystick
has to be in its null position after the backoff has finished
before joystick movement is permitted.
EnableJoystickSpeedOverride N/A
The speed override control is normally enabled when the
machine is in DCC mode, this can be disabled using this
control.
RemeasureMode
N/A
This parameter switches on and off remeasure mode.
The default setting is off.
StickyButtonTimeDelay
0 s
This parameter sets the sticky button time delay (see
section 2.12.6) The default setting is 0 (off).
NOTE: The Joystick assembly has deadbands. In joystick mode the frist 11% of mechanical
movement does not produce motion and full speed is reached at 91%. These deadbands are
