MULTI-POINT PROGRAMMABLE MIXER
S-33
There are 2 Multi-Point Programmable Mixers in the
GLID system. They are Prog.Mix1 and Prog.Mix2. They
differ from the standard mixers in that they allow a non-
linear mix response from the Master to the Slave. This is
possible because the mixer uses 7 points to define how
the slave channel moves as the Master is moved. As the
Master comes across each point, the Slave response
can defined in terms of deflection and direction
independent of other point settings. This results in
extreme flexibility in the movement of the Slave channel
relative to the Master channel.
Master Channel - (Multi-Point Mixer)
This is the Master channel that receives input from the
pilot. 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, Exponential, and
Throttle Curve 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 “#” (pound sign) 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 and any
other program mixes to the master channel affects both
the master and slave channels.
