It is mandatory that this is set to “only (MIX)”, be-
cause the control curves of the curve mixers de-
scribed in the following example only function on the
output of the same channel as desired if there is no
direct connection between the control and output!
Only then can the linear control signal be manipulat-
ed almost arbitrarily around a curve mixer and to the
appropriate output.
Therefore, in the next step, switch to the menu …
»Free mixers« (beginning on page 209)
… and program a curve mixer for the same channel,
e. g. from “9” to “9”:

On this second screen the desired path of the control
curve is then set, whereby the following examples
should only be “food for thought” for the design of
your own control curves.
For example, the control curve could be for …

Output 10:
In the “channel sequencer” menu (page 262)
movements of up to three servos can be programmed
with a duration of up to 30 seconds.
Regardless, there is still another way the transmitter
mc-32 HoTT, can trigger virtually any servo move-
ment for a period of no more than 9.9 seconds.
The programming for this should be shown on the
basis of some examples in the following. Additional
applications can certainly be found once you become
familiar with these capabilities.
The programming is begin in the menu …
»Control adjust« (page 118 or 122)
… and in order to be able to approach any point of
the control curve during the programming, first as-
sign one of the proportional controls to the desired
control channel – in this example the side-mounted
left proportional slider “Lv1” to the Input 9. However,
leave the standard default “GL” in the “typ(e)” column
so that this setting is effective for all flight phases
analogously to the free mixers to be programmed in
the following:

However, if necessary you can create phase-specific
sequences using the “PH” option in the »Control
adjust« menu, and the »Mix active / phase«
menu; see page 220.
The input of a time delay in the “- time +” column most
right should also be dispensed with initially:
