PowerBox CORE - Virtual Switches

16 PowerBox-Systems − World Leaders in RC Power Supply Systems
a) Flight mode
As is the case with the transmitter controls and trims, the mixers also include the option of programming mi-
xed functions from one transmitter control to another separately for each ight mode. If you select the Global
setting, the mixer will be identical in all ight modes, and also if you are not using ight modes. Select Single
if you wish the mixer to be effective only in particular ight modes.
b) From / To
The rst step is to select the source function under From, and the target function under To .
c) Transmitter control
At this point you should select a switch, stick or proportional control. You can then use it to activate the mixer,
switch the input to the three available levels (1-2-3), or set it to linear response. The default entry here is On,
which means that a xed mixer input is set.
d) Input
The Input button is used to set the magnitude of the mixer. Selecting On at Transmitter control sets a xed
value. If you assign a switch or proportional control at Transmitter control, you can set different values on
three levels; the level selected by the transmitter control is shown in green. If you select a proportional control
as transmitter control, the values are applied in a linear fashion between the three levels.
e) Curve editor
The curve editor enables you to set up special mixing curves.
- The rst step is to select the number of points: up
to 17 points can be specied.
- Use the arrow buttons to select the point which
you wish to move; the selected point changes co-
lour to green.
- Adjust the percentage value to shift the point up
or down.
- The Smooth option can be used to even out the
curve, and thereby avoid jerks in the servo’s res-
ponse.
- Raw removes the effect of the curve smoothing.
- Reset curve resets the curve to linear travel.
6. VIRTUAL SWITCHES
The virtual switches can be used to digitise linear
transmitter controls by setting up a switching th-
reshold to generate a switched state. It is also pos-
sible to set up a logical link between two or more swit-
ches or linear controls. This facility can be used as a
very easy method of implementing functions such as
safety switches for electric power systems.
