Joystick setup procedure

If the joystick is connected to the server and configured in Windows OS, then Axxon PSIM automatically activates the feature of controlling a PTZ device using a joystick.. The feature is valid for all PTZ devices connected to the server and configured in Axxon PSIM.

Generally, the joystick configuration contains the following stages:

1. Testing joystick handle functioning in Axxon PSIM. This procedure is described in Testing joystick functioning.
2. Setting up the feature of sending commands to PTZ devices using the joystick keys. For configuration instructions, see Assigning commands to joystick buttons for telemetry control.
3. Testing joystick keys functioning in Axxon PSIM. The procedure is similar to testing joystick handle functioning. For a detailed description, see Testing joystick functioning.

The following functions are available by default and do not require additional configuration:

1. Rotation of cameras equipped with PTZ devices is performed by inclining the joystick handle.

   Note

   Joystick threshold corresponds to the Joystick Threshold string parameter and is set in the HKLM\SOFTWARE\AxxonSoft\PSIM\Telemetry section of the Windows OS registry. By default, Joystick Threshold=1, this parameter can take values of 0 and more. The greater the value, the less sensitive the joystick is; the best value is selected empirically. 
   

2. The feature of zooming in on the image is performed by turning a joystick handle around its vertical axis.

The feature of zooming in on the image is available only for joysticks with a Z axis, for example, Axis 295. This axis is formed by the angles of rotation of joystick handles.

The Z axis is enabled by default and corresponds to the value of Zenable=1 string parameter in the HKLM\SOFTWARE\AxxonSoft\PSIM\Telemetry section of the Windows OS registry.
