Driving trucks

An outstanding feature of the PROFI CAR is that you can use it to control complex
trucks which feature auxiliary functions. The vehicle type „2+5 CH" makes available a
further 5 auxiliary channels in addition to the two primary channels of steering and
throttle/brake. The additional channels are controlled by means of the trim rockers
(except for A - steering trim), the digi-adjustor and the
handle button.
The picture on the right shows the assignment of the
rockers to the auxiliary channels 3, 4 and 5 . The
steering trim rocker retains its function.

Each of the auxiliary channels 3 to 6 can be operated in three different ways or
control modes.

The screen shot here shows the settings for the
auxiliary channels. Servo 3 is at centre, servos 4 and 5
are at their end-points. Servo 6 is proportionally
controlled and is about 8 steps away from centre.
The trim setting for the steering remains in the same
position on the screen.
When you first select the vehicle type „2+5 CH" for a
model memory, all the auxiliary channels default to
the control mode „3ST".
You can adjust the travel and centre for these functions in the menu point „S-TRAV"
T
of the menu (see 8.3).
These are the options for controlling the auxiliary channels 3 to 6:
§
Control mode „PR" (proportional)
Every time you press the associated rocker, the servo position alters by one
increment or step, and the maximum number of steps is 25. The digi-
adjustor controls servo 6 in a similar way.
§
Control mode „FL" (flashing)
The term „flashing" means that the servo switches from centre to one end-
point every 0.5 sec. You can switch the flashing on and off by pressing the
associated rocker briefly. The digi-adjustor controls servo 6 in a similar way.
