1. A machine supporting multiple selectable operating modes for operator input devices, the machine comprising:
a programmed controller; an operator input device associated with an input sensor, the operator input device and associated input sensor being configured to convert physical operator actions on the operator input device into operator input control signals; a force feedback device, associated with the operator input device, configured to exert a resistive force based upon force feedback signals issued by the programmed controller; a machine subsystem including an actuator configured to change an operational state of the machine according to machine control commands issued by the programmed controller based upon the operator input control signals; an operator input device configuration unit including a user interface configured to receive directions for specifying an operator input device configuration definition, wherein the operator input device configuration definition specifies:
a mapping between the operator input control signals and the machine control commands, anda force feedback definition to generate the force feedback signals based, at least in part, upon the operator input control signals; wherein the operator input device configuration definition specifies at least an operator input device mode, and a force feedback mode corresponding to the force feedback definition is based at least in part upon the operator input device mode specified in the operator input device configuration definition. |
