Servo Display - GRAUPNER mx-16 HOTT Programming Manual

Servo display

Use the arrow buttons of the left or right-hand touch-key
to leaf through to the "Servo display" menu point of the
multi-function menu:
mod.mem. base sett.
ser vo set. contr set.
D/R expo phase trim
wing mixer free mixer
ser vo disp basic sett
fail-safe telemetr y
Open the menu point by touching the central
of the right-hand touch-key.
However, this visual display of the current servo posi-
tions can be called up not only by selecting this menu,
but also directly by simultaneously pressing the buttons
 of the left-hand touch-key from the transmitter's
basic display, and also from almost any menu position.
Touching the central ESC button of the left-hand touch-
key returns you to your starting point again.

The current position of any servo is displayed in bar-
chart form, which takes into account the transmitter con-
trol and servo settings, the Dual-Rate / Expo functions,
the interaction of all active mixers etc., within the range
-150% to +150% of normal travel. 0% corresponds
exactly to the servo centre position. The servo display
provides a quick method of checking your settings, with-
out having to switch on the receiving system. However,
this does not relieve you of the need to check all your
programming steps carefully on the model before oper-
ating it for the first time, as this is the only safe method
of excluding possible programming errors.
The display is based on the following scheme for
fixed-wing models:
Bar 1 = throttle / brake servo
Bar 2 = aileron or left aileron
Bar 3 = elevator
Bar 4 = rudder
SET button
Bar 5 = right aileron
Bar 6 = (left) flap / free channel
Bar 7 = right flap / free channel
Bar 8 = free channel / second elevator servo
and for model helicopters:
Bar 1 = collective pitch or roll (2) or pitch-axis (2) ser-
vo
Bar 2 = roll (1) servo
0 %
Bar 3 = pitch-axis (1) servo
Bar 4 = tail rotor servo (gyro)
Bar 5 = pitch-axis (2) servo / free channel
0 %
Bar 6 = throttle servo or speed controller
Bar 7 = gyro gain / free channel
0 %
Bar 8 = speed governor / free channel
Note:
• Please note, however, that the servo display always
applies to the original servo sequence, i.e. it takes
no account of any outputs swapped over in the "Re-
ceiver output" menu of the "Basic model settings"
menu, nor changes made directly at the receiver us-
ing the "Telemetry" menu.
• The number of channels shown in this menu corre-
sponds to the eight control channels available at the
mx-16 HoTT transmitter. However, the actual number
of channels you can use varies according to the type
of receiver in the model, and to the number of servos
connected to the receiver; the number may therefore
be much smaller.
• Use this display during the model programming pro-
cedure, so that you can immediately check all the
settings at the transmitter. However, this does not re-
lease you from the responsibility to check all the pro-
gramming steps on the model itself before operating
it for the first time, in order to exclude the possibili-
ty of errors!
