Is it possible to use two analog imput for controlling a single axis?
For example, can I use the aritmetic mean of two potentiometers as feedback for an axis control ?

We may be able to do something in firmware if you want to use analog feedback mode - e-mail support@galilmc.com. If these are differential signals and you are using the DMC-40x0 motion controller, you can setup the inputs as differential with the AQ command.

If you are not using analog feedback mode and you just want to use the data as a reference for speed or position, then simply read the 2 inputs and do the summing in dmc code on the controller.
