Detail program description - Timers (general)
"Flight tim"
This timer is especially for measuring fl ight time: it
can be started with an assigned switch and stopped
(once the switch has been re-opened) on the basic
display with a tap on the center
ESC key of the left
touch pad. Once in a stopped state, it can be reset to
its starting value with a simultaneous tap on the cd
or ef keys of the right touch pad at the same time
(CLEAR).
If you wish to assign a control switch, you must fi rst
defi ne the switch on the»Control switch« menu and
specify the switching point along the travel of the
transmitter control. As an example, the timer can then
be started by "opening the throttle" or by opening the
throttle limiter for helicopter models.
Note:
The combination of the fl ight time timer and
stopwatch means that you can glance at the display
at any time and see how long you have been fl ying
since the timers were started, plus the total motor
runtime within this particular period of fl ight time.
"Time frame"
The time frame timer is intended primarily for use
by competition pilots, who are frequently given a
timeframe within which they must complete certain
tasks. The timer is started in precisely the same way
as the fl ight time timer. To stop the timer, fi rst ensure
the timer switch is at its OFF position. Then touch and
hold the cd or ef selection keys then touch the
center
ESC key.
Switch assignment
Use the f selection key of the left or right touch
pad to move the marker frame next to the triangle
as shown in the screen image shown below to the
rightmost column of the relevant line:

Centr: Flight tim
Here, you assign a switch as described in the section
"Assigning transmitter controls, switches and control
switches" (page 56).
Typical application:
The "stop watch" and "fl ight timer" are both to be
started simultaneously using the C1 stick as soon as
a user-defi ned switching point is exceeded.
For this purpose, defi ne a control switch, e.g. "C1", in
the »Control switch« menu, page 135. To complete
the procedure, you select this from the expanded
switches (see the section "Assigning transmitter
controls, switches and control switches" on page 56)
and assign it to both these lines:
Model time

The stopwatch will now stop when the stick is below
the switching point and resume running above the
switching point. The same is not true for the fl ight
time timer, however, which also starts the fi rst time
the switching point is exceeded. It can be stopped
(with a tap on the center
ESC key of the left touch
pad) only once the stopwatch is stopped; it can then
be reset to its starting value with a simultaneous
tap on the cd or ef keys of the right touch pad
(CLEAR).
Switchover between "forward" and "backward"
Timer runs forwards (stopwatch function)
Following switch assignment, if the stopwatch shown
on the basic display is started with the initial value of
"0:00", then it will run forwards for max. 180 min and
59 s and then restart from 0:00.
Timer runs backwards (countdown function)
In the – left – minutes fi eld, select a start time between
0 and 180 min …
