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. To Select the Master channel, highlight
and select this parameter for a list of channels. Select the
Master channel from the list.
There are 4 channels that appear more than once. They
are Flap, Aileron, Elevator and Rudder. These channels
can be influenced by Dual Rate and Exponential settings,
so they are included in the list twice - once where the D/R
and EXP settings are in effect and again where D/R and
EXP are ignored. The second time they are listed, there
is a special designator to indicate you can use them as
a Master while bypassing any Dual Rate and Exponential
settings associated with them. They appear with a ā#ā
(pound sign) in front of the name - #FLP, #AIL, #ELE,
and #RUD. When you select one of these 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 affect both the
master and slave channels.
Slave Channel - (Std. Prog Mixer)
The Slave channel moves according to the input on the
Master channel. The default for both the Master and the
Slave is FPRN.
To choose the Slave channel, highlight and select this
parameter to see the list of 9 available channels. Select
the Slave channel from the list.
Current Switch Position - (Std. Prog Mixer)
Indicates the current switch position of the switch (if any)
controlling the mixer.
Direction - (Std. Prog Mixer)
Each standard programmable mixer has two positions
- Pos0 and Pos1 and each position has 2 percentages
(upper and lower) to accommodate mixing when the
Master is moved in both directions.
The direction indicator consists of a dotted and solid line
next to the switch position on the top line of the display.
The solid line indicates whether the upper or lower
percentage is in effect for either Pos0 or Pos1, depending
on which Position is currently selected.
As the Master channel moves above and below the
Offset (where the mix turns on or changes direction), the
solid bar moves between the top and bottom line. If for
example, the switch is set so that Pos0 percentages are in
effect and the master channel is moved below the Offset,
the solid bar will be on the lower line meaning the lower
percentage associated with Pos0 is in effect. When the
master moves above the Offset, the solid bar moves to
the top line indicating the upper percentage for Pos0 is in
effect.
The Direction Indicator works the same way when you
select the Pos1 values. It indicates the upper or lower
value of Pos1 as you move the Master.
Pos0 Settings - (Std. Prog Mixer)
Each standard Programmable mixer can have two sets
of mixing values -
Pos0 and Pos1. Each set can have
2 percentages which control movement of the slave
when the master is moved in both directions. You can
select a switch to toggle between the Pos0 and Pos1
percentages.
The Pos0 settings determine how far, and in which
direction, the slave channel moves when the master is
moved above and below the Offset.
To enter Pos0 values, highlight and select Pos0, move
the Master channel control (stick, lever or switch) in one
direction and set the percentage. Then move the Master
channel control in the other direction and set its value.
Pos1 Settings - (Std. Prog Mixer)
The Pos1 settings are identical to the
Pos0 settings
and determine how far, and in which direction, the slave
channel moves when the master is moved above and
below the offset.
To enter Pos1 values, highlight and select Pos1, move
the Master channel control (stick, lever or switch) in one
direction and set the percentage. Then move the Master
channel control in the other direction and set its value.
