When necessary, the selection keys can be used
to access and read the sequence of switching
times.
Application:
Measurement of (e. g.) flight phases with
increased motor speed, if the same switch is used
to actuate flight phase switching.
Time2
This timer stores both the "off" and the "on" pe-
riods for the associated switch, i. e. every switch
actuation in either direction will cause a record to
be written for the timer, the timer will be reset then
starts incrementing by "1" again as time passes.
Each time count can be suspended with the
centre
ESC
key of the right touch pad, without
actuating the switch itself. Activating the switch, in
turn, increments the counter by 1 and restarts the
"Time2" timer.
In order to read out the time memory with
the selection keys, the "Time2" timer must first be
suspended by using the
ESC
key of the right touch
pad.
A simultaneous tap on the  or  keys of the
right touch pad (CLEAR) will reset suspended timers
shown in the basic display.
"Sw. time" column
When you switch between flight phases, it is advis-
able to use this column to program a switch time
for a "soft" transition INTO (!) the respective phase.
Accordingly, there is also an option for specifying a
different time for the switchover from any phase to, for
0:00.0
example, Phase 3 than for a switchover to Phase 1.
0:00.0
However, for reasons of safety, transition into the auto-
00
0.0s
rotation flight phase should ALWAYS be set to switch
without any time delay. The arrow "->" in the column
labeled "Sw.time" at the end of the "Autorot" line indi-
cates that a delay can be set when transitioning FROM
0
(!) autorotation INTO (!) another phase.
Use the  selection key of the left or right touch pad
to move the marker frame to the right beyond the
"Sw.time" column.

Phase 4
Following a brief tap on the centre
right touch pad, the switchover time value in the field
displayed in inverse video can be changed within a
range of 0 and 9.9 s.
Example:
Autorot
Phase 1
Phase 2
Phase 3
Phase 4
A delay of 5.5 s applies when switching FROM auto-
rotation into any other phase. A delay of 0.0 s always
applies when switching TO auto-rotation.
The switchover time from any other phase to Phase 1
«normal» will take 3.0 s.

Program description - Phase settings | Helicopter models
When switching from e. g. Phase 1 to Phase 3, the
switch time is set to 4.0 s.
Such asymmetric transition times can be useful when,
e. g. switching between extremely different flight phas-
es, such as between aerobatics and normal flight.
A simultaneous tap on the  or  keys of the
right touch pad (CLEAR) will reset the time in the cur-
rently active value field back to 0.1.
Note:
The "switch time" set here applies uniformly
to all settings that are specific to flight
phases, and thus to all mixers activated in the
»Heli mixers« menu, see page 190. Accordingly,
the transition between flight phase-specific mixers
does not occur abruptly. If you want individual servos
to be switched without a delay, however, define these
accordingly in the »Non-delayed channels«
menu (see page 163).
