Creating a Bargraph and Joystick
Bargraphs are level monitors and adjustable level controls. These levels can be configured to
monitor and adjust audio outputs and lighting levels.
Joysticks are vertical and horizontal direction controllers you can use for things such as camera pan
and tilt control. Before starting, make sure to connect the touch panel to your Controller; otherwise,
the joystick will not work properly.

Setting Bargraph and Joystick Properties
Use the Button Properties page to set channel, level, and button colors. Refer to the Setting the
variable text code section on page 32 and the Setting the channel code section on page 31 for
further information. Refer to the Setting the button colors for channel-off conditions section on
page 32 for more information on colors for channel-off conditions.
You cannot create or edit buttons with Unicode fonts on the panel. Any use of the
TEXT/IMAGE button to alter or create Unicode font supported buttons must be done
in the TPDesign3 Touch Panel Design Program.
