X and Y Axis Centering Trimmers
When using an analog joystick it is generally necessary to tailor the controller's
electrical characteristics for the particular software or computer in use. Two Centering
Trimmers (Fig 4) are provided on the sides of Analog Plus for this purpose. One
trimmer controls the "X" axis, the other controls [he "Y" axis as displayed by your
computer cursor's scr@n location. Slide each trimmer across its range !o locate ttre
appropriate centrer point for your software. Often, at the start of a progriun, the software
will automatically.take you through an exercise for making these adjustmens.
Protective Feet
Rubber feet and suction cup feet are included in your package. Please select your
preference and install them to avoid marring table surfaces. The suction cups go in
easiest if they are rotated while pushing into their respective openings on the Analog
Plus underside.
