6.5. 4-D Encoder
The 4-Directional Push Encoder (referred to as the 4-D encoder) combines the functionalities of a
conventional joystick, a button, and a continuous encoder. These aspects make it a multi-function-
al control element that can be used for navigation, for adjusting values of parameters, and for con-
trolling Products. Hence, it can be pushed to the four directions: up, down, left, and right, as well
as being pressed and rotated.
