Morgan,

there is a button function called Toggle Axis Action with Value of "Y Axis, 3, 0.2 1,4, 0.2 1"

what is this for?

Where can i find the instruction on how to use it?

Hey Jon,

ToggleAxisAction can be used to change what a controller axis does (e.g. switch between Pan and Zoom). This allows you to isolate controller axes for specific purposes, or extend functionality past just the 4 physcal axes of movement provided by a dual VCS controller setup.

The parameter to this action is described in the User's Manual:

let me know if you need any help configuring.

Hi Morgan,

i saw the User's Manual, but i only saw the example.

I want to know the format of how it can be set.

"Toggles a specified axis between 2 actions. The example at right toggles the Y Axis behavior between Pan Up/Down at speed 1.0 and Focal Length at -0.1 speed." - "Y Axis 2 1.0 4 -0.1"

What's the "2" & "4" for?

COnfuse..

Hi Jon,

"2" and "4" represent the action index. So if you examine the action combo box, 2 would be the index of "Pan Up/Down", 4 would be the index of "Focal Length +/-".

We'll update the manual to help clarify - thx for the feedback.
