FX-30
In this menu you can enter all the basic settings for Trainer
mode operations. After marking the desired option using the
3-D hot-key, any changes to the settings are carried out by tur-
ning the ‘3-D hot-key’.
TRAINER MODE: TEACHER TRANSMITTER
The following options are available (see pages 1 / 4):
•
ACT / INA:
‘ACT’ mode setting = Trainer function switched on; ‘INH’ =
Trainer function switched off
• Trainer:
This setting determines whether the transmitter is to be
used as the Teacher or Pupil transmitter.
• 12 / 8 channel: toggles between twelve and eight chan-
nels.
It is essential to note that the FX-30, like all other systems
w
ith PCM 2048 (G3) modulation, features a different func-
tion sequence compared with earlier Futaba and robbe /
Futaba transmitters.
If you are using a PCM 2048 (G3) system, it is possible to
select eight-channel or twelve-channel mode.
For all other systems (PCM 1024, PPM8) this value must
be left at eight-channel.
The eight-channel setting should also be selected if you
wish to use the transmitter to control a flight simulator.
• Switch:
This point selects the switch you wish to use to transfer
control between the Teacher and the Pupil transmitters.
Mark and confirm this option: this action calls up a sub-
menu in which you can determine the switch you wish to
use, and its direction of operation. It is also possible to
determine the function of the switch. ‘NORM’ means that
the switch has defined ‘ON’ and ‘OFF’ positions.
After entering this basic Trainer information, you can decide for
each channel separately whether it is to be controlled by the
Pupil alone, or in conjunction with the Teacher (Mix mode),
when the transfer switch has been operated.
Move to the ‘MODE’ field for the appropriate channel, then
rotate the 3-D hot-key to select the mode from the following
options:
• Off:
This channel is not transferred to the Pupil transmitter; it is
controlled exclusively by the Teacher.
• FUNC:
In this mode the corresponding channel is transferred to
the Pupil transmitter. In this case the Pupil transmitter uses
the mixer settings of the Teacher transmitter, and therefore
does not require its own mixer functions to control the
model. The position of the Trainer switch determines whet-
her the Teacher or Pupil has control of the model.
• NORM:
In this mode the corresponding channel is also transferred
to the Pupil transmitter, but the Pupil transmitter uses its
own mixer settings, and therefore requires appropriate
mixer functions to control the model. When control is pas-
sed to the Teacher transmitter, its own mixer functions are
u
sed to control the model. As in FUNC mode, the position
of the Trainer switch determines whether the Teacher or
Pupil has control of the model.
• MIX:
If this mode is selected, and the Trainer switch is set to
“ON”, then the Teacher and Pupil both have access to the
model’s control system, i.e. they control the model in paral-
lel. In this mode both the Teacher and the Pupil control the
model using the settings and mixers selected on the Tea-
c
her transmitter.
The various modes can be selected separately for each func-
tion, i.e. a combination of modes is possible for the various
channels.
The software of the FX-30 allows the user to define a separate
switch for each channel. If you wish to do this, you should
mark and activate the corresponding field. This action calls up
the following screen display, where the switches can be sele-
cted.
The following options are available:
• NONE:
The selected mode is always active for this channel
• ON / OFF: Switch Direction sub-menu
TRAINER MODE: PUPIL TRANSMITTER
If the FX-30 is to be used as the Pupil transmitter, the appro-
priate settings have to be entered as described above.
The settings correspond to those required when programming
the transmitter as the Teacher transmitter, but the number of
available options is much smaller, since a Pupil transmitter
only requires a few functions.
It is important to set the correct number of channels: the chan-
nel count must be selected according to the Teacher transmit-
ter to be used:
• Twelve channels if the Teacher transmitter is a T12Z,
T12FG, T14MZ, FX-30 or FX-40.
• Eight channels for any other type of Futaba or robbe / Fut-
aba transmitter.
