Sx Monitor (Servo Monitor) - AIRTRONICS SD-10G Operating Manual

aero Flight Mode Menu

01.Sx MOniTOR (SERvO MOniTOR)

The Servo Monitor function displays the output levels of each of the 10 channels in bar graph form, allowing you to monitor servo
operation in a virtual manner. This is helpful to see servo movement when the control sticks and switches are moved, and it allows
you to visualize what is occurring with servo movements when you apply different mixing values. When used in conjunction with
the Display key, the Servo Monitor function allows you to see servo movement virtually and make programming changes without
the SD-10G transmitter actually transmitting a signal.
When both the SD-10G transmitter and the receiver are turned ON, the Servo Monitor function has the ability to continuously
cycle the primary flight control servos back and forth to verify operation. You are also able to individually cycle any of the primary
flight control servos and check the Neutral position of each of the servos (or automatically center all of the servos).
The channels displayed will vary based on Model Type and Model Type selection options currently selected. For example,
if your model features dual elevator servos, LE and RE will be displayed and both servos will move when the AUTO1
option is used. Depending on the current servo reversing settings, the bar graphs may not move the same direction as the control
sticks. This is normal.
Using the Servo Monitor - Normal Mode
1) Press the Navigation Pad 56 to highlight SX MONITOR, then press
the ENTER key to display the SX MONITOR menu. The cursor will
default to >NORM.
2) Moving the control sticks and channel switches (if assigned) will display
the position and movement of each of the servos.
Using the Servo Monitor - Neutral Mode
1) Press the YES/+ key to choose >NEUT. When set to NEUT, all servos
will move to the Neutral position until you either change the Servo
Monitor Mode or exit the Servo Monitor menu.
While in Neutral Mode, all flight controls are Inhibited.
Using the Servo Monitor - Auto Mode
1) Press the YES/+ key to choose >AUTO. When set to AUTO, the
primary flight control servos will cycle back and forth at the same time,
until you either change the Servo Monitor Mode or exit the Servo Monitor
menu.
While in Auto Mode, the primary flight controls are Inhibited,
however, the remaining channels remain Active so that you can
continue using them.
Using the Servo Monitor - Auto1, Auto2, Auto3, and Auto4 Modes
1) Press the YES/+ key to choose >AUTO1. When set to AUTO1,
the elevator servo(s) will cycle back and forth equally until you either
change the Servo Monitor Mode or exit the Servo Monitor menu.
2) Press the YES/+ key again to choose >AUTO2 and so on. AUTO2 will
cycle the aileron servo(s), AUTO3 will cycle the throttle servo(s), and
AUTO4 will cycle the rudder servo.
The flight control for the currently Active servo will be Inhibited, however, the remaining channels remain Active so that
you can continue using them.
