DPJ Joystick Switches and Indicators
NOTE: For this procedure, refer to FIGURE 5.6.
NOTE: The DPJ joystick must be used with the MK5 EX
™
controller.
Drive Select Toggle Switch
The three position drive select toggle
switch is located at the back of the joystick
housing. This switch allows the operator to
select the type of operation or performance
which best suits a particular control need
or situation. The DRIVE 1 program uses
performance values which are
independent of those used for the DRIVE 2
program. As an example, an operator may
have a control need for spasticity in the
morning and a very different need in the
afternoon. DRIVE 1 can be programmed
for higher speeds and quicker response
while DRIVE 2 can be programmed for
slower speeds and less responsiveness or
vice versa.
