AxisControl

The AxisControl element can be used to configure an axis control. - The Name attribute of the AxisControl element is used to select the required axis control interface. - The Template attribute of the AxisControl element can be used to select the template from which an axis control can be instantiated.

Note

  • Master controller requires to instantiate an AxisControl from a template as the axis controls are not predefined.

  • Sub-controllers do not require AxisControl instantiation from a template as the axis controls are predefined.
