"Stop watch" or "Motor(run)time"
Both of these two timer variants can be started and
stopped using any of the available switches.
The timer defined as "Stopwatch" or "Motor runtime"
sums the "ON" times continually, so that once your
aircraft has landed, you can read off the sum of all
switch "ON" times since the timer was last reset.
"Flight tim"
This timer is especially for measuring flight time so as
the coupled telemetry data are saved on a memory
card (see page 26): 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 centre
ESC key of the left touch pad. Once in a stopped
state, it can be reset to its starting value with a simul-
taneous tap on the  or  keys of the right touch
pad at the same time (CLEAR).
If you wish to assign a control switch, you must first
define the switch on the »Control switch« menu
(page 146) 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.
CAUTION:
Any claims can only be considered in the
presence of a log file, see page 7. Use there-
fore in your own interest, the option of running
in parallel to the flight timer storage of telemetry data
on the SD card inserted into the card slot of the trans-
mitter. Keep in mind, however, that for technical rea-
sons during playback of MP3 files NO data recording
is possible.
Note:
The combination of the ight time timer and
stopwatch means that you can glance at the
display at any time and see how long you
have been ying since the timers were started, plus
the total motor runtime within this particular period of
ight time.
"Time frame"
The time frame timer is intended primarily for use by
competition pilots, who are frequently given a time-
frame within which they must complete certain tasks.
The timer is started in precisely the same way as the
flight time timer. To stop the timer, first ensure the
timer switch is at its OFF position. Then touch and
hold the  or  selection keys then touch the
centre ESC key.
Switch assignment
Use the  selection key of the left or right touch pad
to move the marker frame as shown in the screen
image shown below to the rightmost column of the
relevant line:

Here, you assign a switch as described in the section
"Assigning transmitter controls, switches and control
switches" (page 60).
Typical application:
The "stop watch" and "ight timer" are both to be
started simultaneously using the C1 stick as soon as
a user-dened switching point is exceeded.
For this purpose, dene a control switch, e. g. "C1",
in the »Control switch« menu, page 146. To
complete the procedure, you select this from the
expanded switches (see the section "Assigning
transmitter controls, switches and control switches"
on page 60) and assign it to both these lines:

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 ight
time timer, however, which also starts the rst time
the switching point is exceeded. It can be stopped
(with a tap on the centre 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  or  keys of the right touch pad
