Zusammenfassung:A control mechanism for generation of a pair of analog signals wherein the mechanism includes a support and an analog element mounted on the support for rotation and translation relative thereto. The support includes an elongated guide member, and the analog element is rotatably mounted on the guide member and is movable relative to and longitudinally of the guide member. A first encoder is coupled to the analog element for sensing rotation thereof relative to the support. A second encoder is coupled with the analog element for sensing translation of the analog element relative to the support. Several embodiments of the control mechanism are disclosed.
