Knobs & Dials
Knobs and dials are physical control elements used on user interfaces to adjust settings or options. They are commonly found on audio mixers, electronic amplifiers, and other electronic devices. Unlike touchscreens or keypads, knobs and dials provide tactile feedback, making them ideal for precise adjustments. Typically, a knob or dial has a defined range that can be adjusted either directly or via a pointer or scale.
Knobs serve as accessory attachments that enhance Human-Machine Interface (HMI) controls by providing visual and tactile feedback or mechanical advantage for adjustable fasteners. HMI knobs, such as those used on rotary switches or potentiometers, may be color-coded, numbered, or marked with indicators like arrows, dots, lines, and notches. They are chosen based on style, type, shaft size, diameter, material, and specific features.
