PROG MIX - PROGRAMMABLE MIXERS
STANDARD PROGRAMMABLE MIXER - (Std. Prog Mixer)
S-29
The X9303 2.4 System provides 2 Multi-Point
programmable mixers (PROG.MIX1 & PROG.MIX2) and
4 Standard programmable mixers (PROG.MIX3 - PROG.
MIX6). Programmable mixers are used whenever the pilot
wants a channel to react or move as a result of providing
input to another channel, or to simply cause a channel to
move by moving a switch or lever.
Multi-Point Mixing provides the ability to define a
customized “curve” of travel that the Slave channel will
follow as it reacts to the Master channel. It is different
from Normal Mixing in the sense that Normal Mixing
results in a linear movement of the Slave channel in
relation to the Master. With Multi-Point Mixing there are
7 points (including end points) along the travel of the
Master channel that can be adjusted to control the action
of the Slave channel (more or less travel in the same/
opposite direction) providing the ability to deviate from a
linear mixing action.
The channel that receives the original input from the pilot
is called the Master channel, while the channel that reacts
to the Master is called the Slave channel. Mixing occurs
when the pilot provides an input to the Master channel
by moving a stick, switch, or lever. The transmitter
automatically generates an input for the Slave channel
based on the pilot’s input to the Master channel and the
parameters defined in the programmable mixer.
Mixes are programmable, allowing any of the 9 channels
to be Master, Slave or both. Other mixing parameters are
also programmable and include the direction of travel
of the Slave channel; the amount of travel for the Slave
channel; the Offset (where the mix starts and changes
direction) and the switches/levers/sticks that are used
to turn a mixer on and off. All of these elements are
adjustable in Programmable Mixers.
Note: Programmable Mix 1 is defaulted to
SpoilerElevator mix. This program when used
in conjunction with Butterfly allows for pitch
compensation during landings. Programmable Mix 1
can be changed to use any master or slave channel
if so desired.
The X9303 2.4 has 4 standard programmable mixers that
allow for linear mixing of a Master channel to a Slave
channel. The standard mixers are PROG.Mix3, 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.
