calculation for the potentiometer

Towards the bottom is a good Labview example of slaving a Joystick to a potentiometer signal using PID. I think this is similar to what you want to do. Take a look and reply back with more questions.

It's a very nice web-page you have there.....
Anyway, the example is very similar to what i was asking.
For example: How do you calculate it so, 1.17 is 90 deg max down and 3.9 is 90 max deg up? and how can i change it to be for example, 40 deg max down and 60 deg max up?
