FMC—FUNCTION CONTROL
The Function Control Menu may be used to
define the relationship between the transmitter
controls and the receiver output channels. Any
function on the transmitter may control any
receiver output channel. It is not necessary to
change the servo connections in the receiver.
This function is useful for changing the control
items for certain functions. For example, you may
wish to set the sailplane Butterfly function on the
throttle stick (J3) rather than on the default Knob
A.
Control Modification Procedure
In the Model Menu, press the FNC key to get the
function modification menu.
Use the SEL ( O ) key to make the channel selec-
tion keys appear, then select the desired channel with the
channel select keys E to L on the screen bottom.
To change the control, press the CTR (P) key.
Now you may select the desired control source from the
Stick, Control, or Switch keys. The bottom of the display
shows the keys LS , LD , RD , RS (Left Slider, Left Dial,
Right Dial, Right Slider) followed byJ1,J2,J3, J4 (right
stick horizontal, right stick vertical, left stick vetical,
left stick vertical, left stick horizontal). If you want to use
a switch as an input instead, hit the NXT (M) key and
Switches A through H are displayed. If you wish to have
no function for a certain control, press NXT again and
select the NUL key ( E ). Repeat these steps for every
channel that needs to be changed. If you'd like to reverse
the function direction, press the +/- key (R) .

You may also use this function to select the
trim positions, independently from the sticks. For
instance, to set cross trims, simply exchange the
elevator (CH2) and throttle (CH3) trim positions.
One advantage of cross trims is that it is possible
to set the elevator trim without releasing the eleva-
tor stick, by using the other hand. The default
mode for the PCM 1024Z system is for cross trims.
Channel Selection Keys
As an example, take a four-wing-servo sailplane. You
decide that you want the throttle stick (J3) to control
the Butterfly function. To do this, select SF2 with the
(J) key, press the CTR key, and choose the J3 but-
ton ( K ) . You may then press the SEL
airbrake ( ABK ), again press the control key (CTR),
and then null out the input control by pressing the NXT
(M) key twice, and finally pressing NUL (E).
Press the
return to the Model Menu.
Trim Modification Procedure
This procedure is used to change the location of the
trim associated with a particular function. Use the SEL
key (O) to get the selection arrows across the screen
bottom, then use the arrow keys (E to L) to select the
desired channel.
To change the trim, press the TRM (Q) button,
then press the T1, T2 , T3, T4. or NUL keys. If you
wish to reverse the trim direction, press the +/- (R)
key.
Repeat this process for each trim channel to be chang-
ed. When complete, use the END (N) key to return to
the Model Menu.
