MOVE JOYSTICK JOGGING
As an alternative to the mouse and keyboard, it is also possible to
move the machine manually using a connected joystick. This is of
advantage for observing the movements directly on the machine and
setting exact positions. It is easier to take a joystick to the machine
than keyboard or mouse.

Prior to use a connected joystick it must be configured in the
Windows system and calibrated with a special function.
Jogging with
joystick
When setting up the machine with the joystick, movement in the X
and Y-axis directions can be achieved simply by tilting the control
handle. Moving the Z-axis requires pressing joystick button 1 as
well.
A help point can also be stored directly at the machine using the
joystick. The stored position can be selected by repeatedly pressing
joystick button 2. To store the position itself, press button 2 at the
same time as holding button 1 pressed.
