Model Name: Set the model’s name
Mixer GUI: Defines which GUI to use for this model. The ‘Advanced’ GUI is the
default for Deviation. The ‘Standard’ GUI is only available for Helicopter models and
more closely resembles a traditional vendor GUI.
Model Icon: Choose the model’s icon
Model Type: Set the model type. Some models (e.g. helicopter) have additional
configuration options that can be accessed by clicking the Model type.
Protocol: Set the type of Rx being used. Note that some protocols have additional
options that can be accessed by pressing the Protocol spin-box when it is active. See the
Protocol section for more on specific protocols. Note that a protocol change will take
effect immediately and could cause a bound model to behave erratically.
Number of channels: Sets the number of channels to transmit (the maximum number of
channels is dependent on the selected protocol).
Tx Power: Specify the radio output power when applicable.
Fixed ID: The Fixed ID sets a unique code to ensure that the Tx will only bind to a
specific model. This is useful to ensure that the Tx is not accidentally bound to the
wrong model.
Bind/Re-Init: Depending on the protocol and Fixed-ID setting, the Tx may bind with the
model on start-up, or may need to be manually bound once. See the Protocol section for
more on specific protocols. If the protocol does not support binding, the button will show
‘Re-Init’, which can be used to switch protocols without power-cycling the transmitter.
Protocols
Some protocols have additional customization or limits. Each of the protocols is
described below. If an ‘*’ is shown before the protocol name, it means this protocol is
not currently supported by the transmitter. This generally means that the necessary
hardware module is not installed or has not been configured properly. More information
can be found in the Module installation guide:

Protocol: DEVO
The DEVO protocol is used to maintain compatibility with the Walkera DEVO
receivers/models. This protocol supports up to 12 channels. The DEVO protocol
supports both auto-binding and manual-binding. If FixedID is set to ‘None’ the
transmitter will attempt to auto-bind with the receiver every time it is powered n. If a
value is set for FixedID, the receiver must be bound manually one-time using the ‘Bind’
button, after which it should stay bound. Note that the FixedID is only part of the
binding procedure. Two transmitters with the Same ID cannot control the same model.
The DEVO protocol also supports enabling/disabling the telemetry capability. This
option is accessed by pressing the Protocol spin-box when DEVO is shown.
Protocol: WK2801
The WK2801 protocol is used to control older Walkera models. The previous Walkera
models were segmented into 3 similar but not identical protocols: WK2801, WK2601,
WK2401. This roughly corresponds to the number of channels supported, but many of
the newer 6-channel receivers actually support the WK2801 protocol. It is recommended
