Dsc Port; Data Port - GRAUPNER mz-24 Pro Programming Manual

DSC Port
The abbreviation DSC stands for "direct servo con-
trol." Traditionally, this function allowed users to con-
trol models by direct wired connection instead of by
wireless radio transmissions. DSC was useful for per-
forming model adjustments without any chance of in-
terfering with other models utilizing FM radio frequen-
cies. However, with the HoTT technology system, it is
no longer necessary to use a diagnostic cable in that
manner.
The standard two-pin DSC port on the back of the
mz-24 Pro HoTT transmitters is now used to function
as a TRAINER / PUPIL port and as an interface for
flight simulators or other external devices.
To ensure a correct DSC connection, observe the
following:
1. Perform adaptations in the menu appropriate for
the task. For example, to adapt to the transmitter
to a trainer system, refer to the FUNCTION sub-
menu Trainer (page 141).
2. Connect the other end of the connecting cable to
the desired device while observing all relevant op-
erating instructions.
Tip
Make sure that all the plugs are securely inserted in
the respective ports, and only use the provided plug-
in connections with a 2-pin jack plug on the DSC
side.

3. Depending on the number of channels used for
the connected flight simulator or for the Training
mode, in the DSC OUTPUT line of the BASE sub-
menu TX ctl (page 68), select one of the following
modes: PPM10, PPM16, PPM18 or PPM24. De-
fault setting: PPM10.
Notice
Given the numerous flight simulators on the mar-
ket, the contacts on the jack plug or DSC module
may have to be adapted by Graupner Service.
Attention
Exercise extreme caution when directly connect-
ing the transmitter to a desktop computer or lap-
top by a DSC cable and/or connecting a com-
puter interface to the simulator: the transmitter may be
destroyed by electrostatic discharge. Only use this type
of connection if precautions are taken, such as wearing
a commercially available grounding armband while op-
erating the simulator. Graupner strongly recommends
only using wireless simulators.

Data Port

The DATA port is found under the cover on the back
side of the mz-24 Pro HoTT transmitter:
Use the DATA port for connecting a Smart Box (order
No. 33700) or for an external Bluetooth module (No.
S8351).
Further information on the Smart Box and the Blue-
tooth module can be found in the main Graupner FS
catalogue and on the Internet at
