The new axis identifier is only transferred to the volatile
memory of the C-863.12. A changed axis identifier can be
stored permanently in the C-863.12 with the WPA command
(p. 205).
The analog input lines with the identifiers 1 to 4 are the
inputs 1 to 4 of the I/O socket (p. 266). Their number is
displayed with the TAC? command and their values can be
queried with the TAV? command. Note that these lines can
also be used as digital inputs (see below).
Additional analog input lines are located at the Joystick
socket (p. 268).
These lines are not output via TAC? and TAV?.
The values of all inputs can be recorded via record option 81
of the DRC command.
1 to 4 identify digital output lines 1 to 4 of the I/O socket (p.
266).
For further information, see "Digital Output Signals" (p. 76).
1 to 4 identify digital input lines 1 to 4 of the I/O socket (p.
266), which can also be used as analog inputs (see above).
For further information, see "Digital Input Signals" (p. 83).

daisy chain (p. 45), each controller must have a unique
address (p. 117).
