Mixer - Basic Functions

Mixing allows multiple functions to be controlled si-
multaneously by a single signal. There are two main
types of mixing: control function mixing and channel
mixing.
Control function mixing allows a single pair of con-
trol signals to act as two separate pairs. For example:
when coupling elevator and aileron, the transmitter
operates as a single function but the single pair of
control signals combine the two different deflections
in accordance with the control stick movements, thus
moving together (as elevators move) and individually
(as ailerons move) at the same time.
Control channel mixing allows separate channels to
work in conjunction with one another. For example,
the coupling of two servos with the same function,
such as two rudders, to be controlled by a single ser-
vo.
When mixed, the control function signals flow from
the transmitter output and branch at a point in which
the transmitter options (i.e. D/R,EXP, CTL Set, THR.
CRV etc.) are contained within a signal that relays an-
other control channel's specific input, allowing anoth-
er receiver to output the settings.

functions in which two (or more) control channels are
mixed with each other. The example mixer cited can
be activated by selecting the V-tail option during the
initial model selection. Refer to the BASE submenu
Model Sel section (page 38) for additional informa-
tion.
Each fixed-wing and helicopter model memory pro-
gram has five programmable linear mixers and three
curve mixers in each of the 30 model memories per
programmed phase in which users can define inputs
and outputs as well as the degree of desired mixing.
