Joystick
In Joystick mode, the operator controls the positioning of the vessel using the three-axis
joystick (integrated joystick and rotate controller).
To move the vessel in the surge and sway axes (alongships and athwartships directions), tilt
the joystick. The direction in which the joystick is tilted determines the direction of applied
thruster force, and the angle of tilt determines the amount of applied thruster force.
To turn the vessel (the yaw axis), rotate the joystick. The direction in which the joystick is
rotated determines the direction of the rotational moment demand, and the angle through
which the joystick is rotated determines the amount of applied rotational moment.
Heading wheel
The Heading Wheel comprises one heading wheel and seven buttons.
Three of these buttons are located in front. The other four forms a circle close to and around
the heading wheel.
The functions that are available depend on the present mode.
