| Summary | Sets the relationship between the angle of the active joystick axis and the velocity of the device. |
When the joystick is displaced from the neutral position, the T-JOY3 reads the angular position and calculates how fast and in which direction the corresponding devices should be instructed to move. There are three different velocity profile numbers that can be requested:
- 1 – Linear
- 2 – Squared (factory default)
- 3 – Cubed
The maximum velocity is set by the Set Axis Velocity Scale (#29) command. Squared and cubed curves offer finer control at slow speeds, but still allow maximum velocity when the joystick is fully deflected.
