This is a stacked interlocking double potentiometer that was originally designed to serve for the F-16 IAS needle and mach gauge. This was needed as the IAS needle drags the mach gauge with it while the mach gauge moves relative to the IAS needle. Additional functionality was included to help ease the aspect of stacking potentiometers. Examples include TACAN controls and other dual knob stack ups for video display control. This provides a simple interface that manipulates which way each potentiometer moves, layer lever, and if one potentiometer drags the other. It retains all of the other standard potentiometer functionality selections such as tapping to increase and such. It also provides a control leg up in that the outer corners of the interior potentiometer belong to the outside potentiometer and not the inside one. I have tested its functionality.

Adds a text box that is capable of handling multiple lines of input such as a CDNU text box or the F16 Text Box. It has been tested
The dual potentiometer will add to the general capabilities for profile building. Originally designed to be the solution to the F-16 IAS indicator dragging the Mach gauge with it, I had it adjusted for other stacked knob functions such as TACAN Controls, brightness controls on the display settings. It has the ability to scale the size of the knobs independently, and control which drags which if any. It also allows for simple selection of device rotation for reversing.
