Aux Setting - Spectrum DX3S User Manual

aux seTTIng

The Auxiliary Setting function allows trim adjustments
on the auxiliary channel to be made and adjustments to
mixing values on the steering to the auxiliary channel.
Typically the mixing function is used in dual steering
servo applications such as giant-scale trucks. The
primary or controlling channel is steering while the
channel that is mixed to is auxiliary. The auxiliary
channel follows the movement of the steering channel
based upon the mixing value that is programmed.
Negative values cause the auxiliary to move in the
opposite direction. Note that the AX Trim is active for the
Auxiliary channel only. The auxiliary channel (Forward/
Reverse) two-position switch allows dual mixing rates
that expand capabilities to include crab steering as used
in rock crawling.

Selector to select it.
With Mix Enabled, the following screen will be displayed.
F/R Disabled = (Forward/Reverse) 2-position switch
disabled
TrH = Travel High side
TrL = Travel Low side
To adjust the travel of the mixed auxiliary channel in
relation to the steering input, rotate the Rolling Selector
and place a box around TrH/TrL percentages. Press the
Rolling Selector to enter the Auxiliary mix travel function.
Rotating the Rolling Selector will now adjust both the
Travel High and Travel Low values simultaneously.
If you desire to adjust the high or low travel values
independently, move the wheel and that value alone will
be highlighted (e.g. turning the steering wheel to the
right will highlight the low value only and subsequent
adjustment will affect the right travel only). To highlight
both values again after moving the wheel in one
direction, simply press the Rolling Selector twice with the
wheel centered and both values will be highlighted.
To return to the main screen press and hold the Rolling
Selector for more than three seconds.
Enabling F/R will allow use of the Forward/Reverse
2-position switch for dual steering rate mixes.
