8.5.4 Analog Input Assignments
The analog inputs enable the drone to respond to level controls. A wide variety of commands can be assigned to
an analog input just like an AUX input.
Note: If desired, analog inputs can be used as simplex AUX inputs. This is controlled by the “Use Analog as Aux”
command in the AUX Input Commands Sub-block screen. See Section 8.5.2 for more details.
The Analog Input Commands Sub-block screen is located between the AUX Input Commands Sub-block screen
and Binary Input Commands Sub-block screen. It is used to assign commands to any of the 16 analog inputs.
To assign one or more commands to an analog input, first use
O N to advance to the command Sub-block
screen titled “Analog Input Commands.” Then select the Add button. The window in Figure 8.9 will appear:
Only one command can be assigned to an input at a time with the command window but you can assign as many
commands as you want to an input by repeating the steps described next and assigning additional commands to
the same input.
Input #: The drone analog input number.
Components: The Components list is used to select the IQ component that will be controlled by the drone
input. All a component needs to be included in the list is a control block—it does
not have to be on-line to appear
in the list. By including off-line components it is possible to preconfigure a drone before it is connected to an actual
IQ System.
Available Functions: The Available Functions list is used to select the command that will be sent to the
selected IQ component when the drone input is adjusted.
Note: It is possible to assign more than one command to the
same drone input. In this way, a single
potentiometer can control a number of different levels of one or more IQ components. Important:
Commands are executed in the order that they are added to an input. Carefully plan
the order that you want the commands to be executed before adding them to an input or else you may have
