I'm reading the values of a 4-axis joystick using "acquire input data" (on win XP/7). What is the real range of the return values of this function? The cluster returned contains I32. But with the one joystick I tried, I only got values from -2^15 to 2^15-1 (essentially I16). Can I assume this is true for all joysticks (given the joystick is connected over USB using the standard windows driver and calibrated using the windows control panel) or do I need to write my own "calibration"?

There is an joystick example on

acoording to that page, that range varies between joysticks.
