Standard Programmable Mixer - (Std. Prog Mixer)
The PCM9X II has 4 standard programmable mixers
that allow for linear mixing of a Master channel to a
Slave channel. The standard mixers are PROG.Mix 3,
4, 5 and 6.
The mixer provides for 2 sets of mixing values named
Pos0 and Pos1. If one set of values is set to 0% then
the mixer can be turned On and Off with a stick, switch
or lever. Each set of mixing values is comprised of 2
percentages to accommodate movement of the Master
channel in both directions. This is shown in the
illustration below where there is an upper and lower
percentage for both Pos0 and Pos1.
A mixer can be made to always be on by setting Pos0
values only and not selecting any switches to switch
between the Pos0 and Pos1 values.

Master Channel - (Std. Prog Mixer)
This is the Master channel that receives input from the
pilot. The default for both the Master and the Slave
channel is FPRN. The Master channel is selected by
highlighting and selecting this parameter to obtain a list
of channels and then selecting the Master channel from
the list.
There are 4 channels that appear more than once.
They are Flap, Aileron, Elevator and Rudder. Since
these channels can be influenced by Dual Rate and
Exponential settings, they are included in the list twice -
once where the D/R and EXP settings are in effect and
again where the D/R and EXP settings are ignored. The
second time they are listed, there is a special
designator to indicate that these channels can also be
used as a Master while bypassing any Dual Rate and
Exponential settings that may be associated with them.
They are designated by a “#” (hash) in front of the
name - #FLP, #AIL, #ELE, and #RUD. When one of
these channels is selected as the Master, all D/R, EXP
and Curve settings associated with the Master are
ignored during the mixing operation. Instead, the mixer
reads only the physical position of the stick to perform
mixing.
A (+) behind the channel indicates a trim include
function. By selecting a channel with the (+) the trim
lever effects both the master and slave channels.
Slave Channel - (Std. Prog Mixer)
This is the Slave channel that will move according to
the program mix in relation to the Master channel. The
default for both the Master the Slave channel is FPRN.
The Slave channel is selected by highlighting and
selecting this parameter to obtain a list of channels and
then selecting the Slave channel from the list. The list
contains each of the 9 channels in the system.
Current Switch Position - (Std. Prog
Mixer)
Indicates the current switch position of the switch (if
any) that controls the mixer.
