Simple input and display

[markn]

Gentlemen,
Could someone point me in the right direction. We are retrofitting a machine which we want to contol the poisition of a tool spindle mounted on a post. WE have the mechanics worked out, now I would like advice on creating a screen which would allow us to move the spindle up and down and left to right. Is there a way to modify a machscreen to do this?
We would also like a way to store these settings for retrival for furture setups.

Thanks, Mark
