Speed Pot and Joystick Overview
Through the use of Single Ended Inputs to an optional Analog Input Card installed in the control, your
shape cutting control may be configured to support an external Joystick or Two Speed
Potentiometers. Note: These features are not available for all control types and optional control
hardware is required.
The external Joystick is used as a directional command signal when in manual motion.
The optional Speed Pot may be used to adjust the current motion speed.
These features must first be enabled at the password protected I/O screen for use.

Analog Offset 1- 12
The Analog Offsets 1 through 12 are used to correct for any imbalance or “Zero” the incoming analog
voltage to the Analog Input Card
Note: To calibrate the Analog Inputs, jumper the two pins specific to the input together and view the
incoming voltage at the Diagnostics Analog I/O screen. The incoming voltage should be zero. If any
voltage is displayed at the diagnostic screen, an Offset Voltage equal to the incoming voltage being
read can be entered here to “Zero” the incoming voltage. Please refer to the installation instructions
later in this section for more details.
