Ethos v1.5.7 and X18, X20 series User Manual
Trigger value
The trigger value determines the value below which the throttle input triggers the
throttle safety interlock.
Idle output value
For safety, once throttle cut becomes inactive, the throttle channel output will only
leave the ‘Idle output value’ if the throttle input has been below the trigger value. This
ensures that the engine or motor only starts from a low throttle input value.
Throttle hold
Throttle hold provides a simple throttle hold function without the throttle input safety
interlock of ‘Throttle cut’ above.
Active condition
The active condition may be chosen from switch or button positions, function switches,
flight modes, logic switches or trim positions.
Value
Once the throttle hold function goes active, the Value setting will be output on the
throttle channel. On electric powered models, the throttle hold value is normally (-
100%).
The throttle hold value can also come from a source.
Flight modes
If any flight modes have been defined, the mix can be made conditional to one or more
flight modes. Click on ‘Edit’ and check the boxes for the flight modes in which this mix
must be active.
Curve
A curve may be defined to modify the throttle channel output. Any previously defined
curve may also be selected.
