Hmm... Interesting bit of instrumentation there. My take is that since
summing the two axes will involve some trivial electronics, why not add a
bit more trivial electronics and have a means to (at least momentarily)
individually look at either one axis or the other. I envision a 3-position
toggle switch which is spring-loaded to the center ("mixed") position.
Toggle to either "side" position will select one or the other axis for an
individual reading.
