Axis I/O Mapping local/remote Jog item re-ordering
I would like to ask if we can consider re-ordering the items on the Axis I/O Mapping tab.
Currently, when looking at the Local and Remote Jog Axis mapping, the items read as such:
- Lcl Value Source
- Lcl Activation Source
- Lcl Assign Switch
- Lcl Fwd/Rev Switch
What I would like to propose is:
- Lcl Assign Switch
- Lcl Activation Source
- Lcl Value Source
- Lcl Fwd/Rev Switch
The reason and justification for this suggestion is to help when teaching and training staff and end users.
As far as order of operations, generally, users will:
- Select and Axis and "Assign a Joystick" (Yes, this can also be achieved by rule or macro) Regardless, we have to "Link" the joystick with an axis
- Press and hold the "Activation Source" or trigger button on the joystick
- Move said joystick by pushing or pulling to provide "Value Source"
Note: Yes, in Unipolar jog systems direction will need to be chosen via the Fwd/Rev switch, usually before commencing jog. However, I think that it would be ok to leave the Fwd/Rev where it is.
