Advanced Vector Setup and Calibration

This section covers some of the many Vector settings and features that will appeal to more advanced pilots.

7.1 Advanced OSD Setup

The Advanced OSD configuration tools let you configure many
additional readouts with multiple display options, set up multiple
screens of readouts, set customized messages to display for alarms,
enable additional voice options, and many more features. See section
10 for a complete list of numeric readouts available.
It is generally faster and more intuitive to do advanced OSD
configuration with the software, but full stick menu support is
provided.

7.1.1 The Advanced Numeric Readouts Menu

Advanced numeric configuration through the stick menus is done by navigating to the "Advanced Numeric
Readouts...." menu from the OSD Setup menu.
If you add advanced readouts to the display screen that are not available on the basic readouts menu,
problems can occur if you try to add additional readouts later, using the basic menu. later.
Here is a description of this menu:
Readout Name: When this item is highlighted, moving the aileron stick left and right lets you select the
readout you want to modify. Once you have selected the desired readout, move the elevator stick down to
move to the next menu items. See section 10 for a description of all readouts.
Set Up Gauge/Swatch: This brings up the Gauge and Swatch Setup menu, described below.
Onscreen Label: Option lets you change the label displayed to the left of the readout, on the OSD screen. To
edit, move the aileron stick right to begin. Then, moving the aileron stick left or right lets you select the
position you want to edit, and moving the elevator stick up or down lets you select the character to display in
that position. Note that some readouts let you optionally display an icon for the readout in the first position.
Display parameter as: This item lets you select the display mode of the readout, as Text, Gauge, Swatch, or
Swatch with Text. See the Gauge and Swatch section below.
Show on Scrns: This item lets you select which screens (1 through 6, or a combination thereof) on which this
readout will display.
Display on which Row: The Vector's numeric readout display consists of 5 columns (from left to right) and 4
rows (from top to bottom), letting you display a total of 20 numeric readouts on each screen. Rows 1 and 2 are
at the top of the OSD display, and rows 3 and 4 are at the bottom of the display. This menu item lets you select
the row where this readout will be located.
Display on which Column: This item lets you select the column on the OSD display where this readout will be
located.
If you select a screen, row and column for a readout that conflicts with another previously configured
readout, an error listing the name of the conflicting readout will display at the bottom of the menu screen, and
"Show on Scrns" will be forced to "None".
If you are setting up many readouts on multiple screens, you can either draw the desired screens ahead
of time on a piece of paper with row/column grids and use that as a setup guide, or use the software for
configuration.
