 CIS_Auxiliary_Buttons, which is an array of 20 floats. With the introduction of the two types of daq
 boards, the digital and analog input channels from those two boards can be used as button states as well. The use of daq boards is independent of joystick type. In other words, as long as one or both daq boards are present, their input channels can be used as buttons, even if the joystick type is not “DAQ_BOARDS”.

With the scaling factor applied, it becomes 16x9. This set up is used when the displays are 42” Panasonic HD plasma monitors, which have a physical aspect ratio of 16x9 but their native resolution is 1024x768. They also accept 1366x768 resolution, which is a 16x9 aspect ratio. However, the image quality under 1366x768 is poor compared to 1024x768. Therefore their native resolution is used instead, and the scaling factor is applied to maintain the correct aspect ratio in the visuals.		is used by a three-display triple-head adaptor setup with all three displays set to 1024x768, yielding a combined resolution of 3072x768.

		+	Any functionality assigned with a button number 0 disables that functionality. The button number of a joystick button can be looked up by running the joysticktest program. With the program running, press the button in question, and look for the value under “dwBtns”. For button number n, its dwBtns value should be 2^(n-1). Make sure only one button is pressed when checking (the value under “dwBNum” should be 1).

 The sixth line is the position, orientation and size of the icon. The content of the line is dependent on the type of the icon. For OVERLAY icons, there are seven fields in this line:
 *Horizontal alignment for the icon. A string that can be “LEFT”, “RIGHT”, “CENTER”, or “NONE”.
