Abstract
A control system for a machine having at least one control element is disclosed. The control system includes multiple input sensors in communication with the control element. The input sensor generates an input signal based on an input to the control element. The control system includes multiple actuating members to control operations of the machine. The control system includes a controller in communication with the input sensors and the actuating members. The controller receives the input signal from the input sensor and determines an imposed hysteresis level corresponding to the input signal based on a hysteresis input function. The controller is further configured to generate a hysteresis conditioned input signal based on the imposed hysteresis level.
