Creating a Bargraph and Joystick

Bargraphs are level monitors and adjustable level controls. These levels can be configured to adjust
and monitor audio outputs and lighting levels. Before starting, make sure to connect the touch panel
to your Controller; otherwise, the bargraph may not work properly.
Bargraphs and Joysticks only function on VPN-CP touch panels.
Joysticks are vertical and horizontal direction controllers you can use for camera for pan and tilt
control.
