Inputs/Outputs

  • cdlrn.png device ID —

    device ID identifies which device you acquired data from.

  • cerrcodeclst.png error in (no error) —

    error in describes error conditions that occur before this node runs. This input provides standard error in functionality.

  • idlrn.png device ID —

    device ID identifies which device to acquire data from.

  • inclst.png axis info —

    axis info contains numeric values for the axes. The number of axes depend on the specific joystick.

    When you use this VI on a myRIO target, the value of axis info is the raw data value this VI acquires from the joystick.

  • ii32.png X axis —

    X axis is the numeric value of the x-axis.

  • ii32.png Y axis —

    Y axis is the numeric value of the y-axis.

  • ii32.png Z axis —

    Z axis is the numeric value of the z-axis.

  • ii32.png X axis rotation —

    X axis rotation is the numeric value of the x-axis rotation.

  • ii32.png Y axis rotation —

    Y axis rotation is the numeric value of the y-axis rotation.

  • ii32.png Z axis rotation —

    Z axis rotation is the numeric value of the z-axis rotation (rudder).

  • ii32.png U axis —

    U axis is the numeric value of the u-axis.

  • ii32.png V axis —

    V axis is the numeric value for the v-axis.

  • icclst.png button info —

    button info contains Boolean values for up to 32 buttons. A TRUE value indicates that the button was pressed when the VI ran.

  • inclst.png direction info —

    direction info contains numeric values for up to four points of view.

  • ii32.png pov 1 —

  • ii32.png pov 2 —

  • ii32.png pov 3 —

  • ii32.png pov 4 —

  • ierrcodeclst.png error out —

    error out contains error information. This output provides standard error out functionality.
