2 questions regarding joysticks
We have decided to not use the Attack 3 joystick and we are now going to use 1 Saitek controller. Because of this switch, I have two questions.

1. Is there a way to read POV using the Get Joystick VIs. If not, the POV also counts as buttons 12 through 20, but I would prefer not to have 8 case structures and just read the direction from the POV. I know that LabVIEW has a connectivity VI that allows the reading of POV, but it does not work with a cRIO.

2. What is the differance between a joystick 'get' vi and a joystick 'get raw' vi. Should I use the get raw if I am not using the Attack 3 controllers?
